This is really cool. First thing I looked for was a Wordle-type "share" button.

Maybe add a Wordle-style share button? Then everyone can play this with their friends.

It’s at the top, now.

"Share" seems to just use the built in device sharing, and shares the URL. It's much more interesting if you can copy your personal results (how long it took, if you got hints) to your keyboard and then share it however you like!

On iOS it shares:

Nine Letter Word #5 29 seconds 0 hints

On FF on quite-old Android 7.0 I chose share (within the web page), then "copy to clipboard" and the text is:

    https://www.nineletterwordgame.com/

Not quite what I was expecting! If I send to notepad then the first line is "null" and the second is the address as above.

I did 23s but I think the grid form makes it much slower, I prefer it Countdown (a UK television quiz) style, just in a row.

I'm on Oxygen OS 10.3.8 (based on Android 10) and I got the mediocre "share to app" menu. I chose Gmail to see the text, and it was just the URL. I'll blame about 50% on this share menu, since it doesn't even include "clipboard" (which is weird, I've had that in the past on Android, but maybe OxygenOS removed it for some inane reason), but I'd still prefer the "copy to clipboard" default behavior that Wordle/Dordle/Nerdle have.
