Yet another fun game that will die because it tried to replicate the "one game a day" model for no reason. I like it, and want to play more. Why can't I? At the very least let me go back and retry the words that I missed? Not everything has to be Wordle.

I like the daily game format because it has everyone playing the same puzzle, but I agree with your other criticism. You should be able to try again or possibly disable the timer.

I admit that having an archive would be nice, and some daily games do have that or an unlimited mode.

I share your frustration, but not your confidence that it will impact the success of the game. The "daily challenge" format, though annoying, does seem to hook people.
