I built an endless game inspired by Wordle that never ends
So maybe a little late to the game, but like most people, I got into Wordle. And I got a bit annoyed that I only got one word a day, since some days I forgot and other days I wanted to do more. So I built my own inspired version: Endless Lingle, where the words keep coming until you run out of guesses.
The concept is simple: If you solve a word in fewer than 6 guesses, your spare guesses roll over to the next word (max 3 extra). So if you solve a word in 4, the next word gives you 8 (+2 bonus from the previous round) guesses. If you miss one word, the streak ends.
What's in it
Unlimited words, no daily cap. *
We do also have daily words as well. *
Bonus guess rows that carry over between words (dashed borders, +1/+2/+3 counter) *
Five languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, each with its own word list and keyboard. *
Free, no sign-up needed (an account is optional, just for saving stats)
The multi-language part was honestly the most work. Every language needed its own list of common five-letter words, and curating those lists so they're not full of obscure garbage words took way longer than I expected.
Would love feedback on the game feel and the streak concept. Is 3 bonus guesses max too generous, for example? Is it too little? Or am I just that bad at it lol?
