Show HN: Wordrow – A Wordle and Tetris Mixup

Hello HN, My wife and I developed this game as we like word games such as Wordle. The game is designed to run about 5 minutes. The goal is to guess 5-letter words within a decreasing time constraint.

The words can be entered with a keyboard or by tapping the letters in the correct order. If the word is not guessed in time, it will drop in one of the 7 slots below. After guessing the next word you get another chance to guess the word that got dropped and recover.

At the end of the game you see a summary of the play with a view of color coded bubbles. This summary can be shared by copying it to the clipboard and then pasting it in a post.

Since we found new players sometimes struggling getting the game, we added two low stress practice modes: Chill (no word time limit, just an overall 5 min limit) and Easy (a 30s timelimit, opposed to the 15 with Fast).

We also added the game as an App to the App store, it has the same experience as the Web App version.

We hope you enjoy the game and look forward to your feedback, specifically the game play.
