FAQ
- Why can't I share my scores?
- Aren't you overwhelmed with Wordle scores alrady? I didn't want to add more automated noise to already noisy social networks. If you enjoy Wordlem, feel free to tell your friends though.
- Why no 8+ letters words?
- Because that would make the dictionary size too big to download comfortably, but I may consider the option in the future.
