Wordly

Opening

Wordly is precisely what it says: guess the five-letter word in six tries, exactly as the genre established it. No spin on the format, no paywall, no forced single-guess-per-day if you'd rather just play round after round in Random mode. It's part of Frank Force's LittleJS Arcade collection and, like Froggit reviewed alongside it, this one shipped in fully working order.

The whole game is the keyboard, and the keyboard works

For a word-guessing game, the entire interaction surface is a full-width on-screen QWERTY keyboard, which makes this shelf's core touch-controls question especially direct: either every key works correctly under a real finger, or the game is unplayable. It was tested exactly that way — typing "STARE" letter by letter via individual touch taps on a simulated phone, watching each letter land in the correct grid cell in the correct order, then confirming the Enter key submitted the guess and produced the correct green/yellow/grey feedback on both the grid and the keyboard's own key colours. The same sequence was repeated on desktop with real keyboard input ("CRANE"), producing identical, correct behaviour. There's no ambiguity here: this works.

Modes and structure

Daily mode plays like the original — one puzzle per day, with a running daily streak tracked and displayed on the title screen. Play Random offers unlimited rounds against what looks like the game's full word list, useful for anyone who wants more than one round at a time or is discovering the game outside its daily window. A best-streak counter persists across sessions for the random mode too.

Presentation

It's plain by design: dark background, grid tiles and keyboard keys in flat colour blocks, standard Wordle green/yellow/grey feedback. No animations on tile flip or win, minimal sound. That's an entirely reasonable choice for a word game where legibility matters far more than flourish, and nothing here gets in the way of actually playing.

Final Verdict

An honest, correctly-built Wordle clone whose single most important interaction — typing on an on-screen keyboard by touch — was verified letter by letter to work exactly as intended, with no fixes needed. It won't surprise anyone familiar with the genre, but it does the job cleanly on both phone and desktop. Recommended.
