I agree with this suggestion! However, I wonder if it's only because we don't read and write Hindi on a daily basis (as compared to English).

Also, I'd just like to say that this take of Hindi Wordle is the best so far - fill in the व्यंजन (consonants) with the स्वर (vowels) supplied as hints.

Even then, today’s word is pretty impossible to guess. The Wordle formula is too restrictive for a language like Hindi.

Written word-games aren’t a thing in Hindi (like Hangman for eg) but we do have a lot of stuff rhyme based games. Probably other ways to tackle this better.

Interesting observation, and I can't help but wonder if this is loosely correlated to literacy. Since most of these games were developed to pass time by the masses, it only makes sense that they be verbal rather than written.
