What this teaches
Write the rules as the feedback you want to see, and the game shows it after every guess.
- "six tries to guess a five-letter word" sets the whole challenge.
- "which are right, which are in the word but in the wrong place, and which aren't in it" is the three-colour rule.
- "an on-screen keyboard so it works on my phone" says why, not only what.

Known limitations
- The daily word changes at midnight UTC, not at your local midnight.
- It knows about 570 words; some real words are not accepted as guesses, and the 276 answers repeat after that many days.
- The streak is kept in this browser only.
- On a narrow phone the on-screen keys shrink to about 31 pixels wide, smaller than a comfortable tap.
- A page left open past midnight UTC keeps the old puzzle until it is reloaded.
