Colordle

Colordle keeps Wordle's six-by-six grid and replaces its alphabet with hexadecimal. The answer is a six-character colour code, the keyboard offers only 0 through 9 and A through F, and, the detail that makes it playable, a swatch of the target colour sits in the header the entire game. After the first guess, the header displays the target and the last guess side by side for comparison.

1. Look at the target swatch in the header before touching the keyboard. It tells you roughly where the red, green and blue channels sit.
2. Enter a valid six-character hex code from the 0-9 and A-F keyboard, then press Enter.
3. Read both signals: the tile colours for character placement, and the Last guess swatch against the target for channel direction.
4. Close the code within six rows; a new Colordle appears each day.

Because two skills work at once and neither is enough alone. The tile colours play the Wordle game (right character, right place), while the swatch plays a different one entirely: you look at the target, look at what your guess produced, and reason about which channel needs more red or less blue. A designer who reads hex fluently can nearly solve it by eye; a Wordle player who cannot will still narrow it by elimination. Watching those two methods converge on the same six characters is the whole pleasure.

Standard three-state tiles carried over to characters rather than letters: green for the right character in the right position, yellow for a character that belongs somewhere else in the code, grey for one that is absent. The hex keyboard mirrors each verdict. Above the grid the header pairs two swatches, Guess this color and Last guess, so the numeric feedback always sits beside the visual gap it caused.

Statistics

A results panel behind the chart icon, tracking your history across days.

• Open with a code that separates the channels, something like FF0000 or 00FF88, so the first result tells you which of the three is high and which is low.
• The pairs matter more than the characters. Hex reads as three two-character channels, so a yellow in position 3 and a yellow in position 4 are talking about the same colour channel.
• Trust the swatch when the tiles disagree with your instinct: a code can be one character off and look almost identical, which means you are closer than the greys suggest.
