You will need determination and a wallet full of sats but if you can get to the magic number of 21 wins and surpass me atop the TURTLE leaderboard, 5k sats shall be yours. Gotta spend sats to make sats as they say.
First one to post a screenshot of their nym atop the leaderboard with 21 wins gets 5k sats

Shout out to @jasonb for making this game.
Good Luck!

21 in a row?
You are either really good at this.
Have some kind of hack.
Or you got AI help.
Either way you win.
Not really a hack. An exploit. You don't have to guess real words. @jasonb confirmed that that's working as intended.
Yeah I noticed that. I try to use real words but a couple times I inputted gibberish to see if a letter was where I thought it might be.
Well good on you for finding an exploit.
I will try to beat your record later tonight or tomorrow.
I figured it made for a fun variant, although maybe it does make it too easy if you just spend the first three rounds guessing the most common letters.
I may keep track of how many guesses people take on average to win at some point and include that in the rankings. I had it when the score was kept locally, but it seemed like a headache to do with the database.
Yeah, it made things too easy if my goal was just to win in 7 versus aiming for low score. I would just guess

The biggest problem with making the guesses all be legal words is the inclusion of international word lists. I was trying to make the whole thing with ai, partly to see if I could, so the word lists started off REALLY dicey. As a result, while I’ve got many thousands of English possibilities, some of them are less than 200, which just wouldn’t be fun at all.
Yeah, the more I think of it, scoring by guess count is imminent. I keep seeing people post their picture of guess history for wordle on nostr, and I feel like that’s a similar appeal to looking at leaderboard in general anyway.
Thanks man!
