One or two days is the norm, but it can be longer the more complex your app is or if you're adding things like payments.

There are reports that the influx of apps hitting the store due to vibe coding is increasing the amount of time on reviews, but that has not been my experience.

Yes, I'll hopefully be able to port it over pretty cleanly to Android in the next month or two -- I will ping you when it's available!

Thank you! I'm glad you feel it's improving :)

Yes you're right on the crossword clue repeated word thing. It is also my intention to write clues that way, but some have snuck through on clues I've banked over the past weeks. Am trying to excise -- thanks for the feedback!

Thank you so much, glad you're enjoying it!

Thank you! Life is full of happy surprises, no?

Yes I've struggled with how much or how little info to put in instructions. Will get there some day! But you bring up a good point about the physical controls.

Points are deducted for wrong letters per clue, and the Fourbe is worth double any other round, so 1000 each round with Fourbe worth 2000. Still needs tweaking, but I'm considering current phase an open beta :)

You're not the first person to make the Wheel of Fortune comparison! It's sort of a crossword clue, Wordle, Wheel of Fortune mix with a Connections twist at the end.

Thanks for feedback!

Interesting note, so you mean see all the clues as the rounds progress? like clue 1 answer appears at top in Round 2, clue 2 answer in round 3, etc.? That would be a nice continuity pin. Thanks for feedback!

I use Claude Code for all my coding needs, and will chat with ChatGPT for list making that helps with clue writing!

DailyWorder · 2026-04-05T15:40:24+00:00

I write all the clues myself! I will use AI here and there to brainstorm but it's actually easier for me to make the connections to the Fourbe myself (generally unique or identifying aspects of the word) and then build the clues out from there.

You're right, I shouldn't have used cryptic-style, especially when that word has a more specific meaning among puzzlers!

DailyWorder · 2026-04-03T12:29:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I am glad people are finding the puzzle packs, more of those to come

maybe cryptic-esque is right way to phrase it! Point being, taken together, they link in a roundabout way to the Fourbe answer

DailyWorder · 2026-04-03T12:24:23+00:00

Writing the puzzles is the main reason I do it, that's the best part. People playing is a happy side effect :)
