Add a hard mode that keeps green letters
From 2 comments
Actually that could be a nice "Hard mode".
kiru_io on HNI was thinking about it just now, and I think the hard mode could be similar to hard mode on wordle, where you don’t drop any green letters once you get them. That would strike a…

I made this reversle solver a while back, where you put in the pattern and solution and it gives you the possible words. I used it to draw pictures (like flowers) and write…
eat_veggies on HNThanks! Yes, it is: https://github.com/veggiedefender/wordle-reverse However, it's just a single 400ish line html file with mediocre code.
