Would love feedback on a small daily puzzle game I made

Hi all, I made a daily browser puzzle game called TUMBLER.

You get 6 tries to crack a 4-letter code, but the feedback is based on directional clues, so each guess helps you reason whether letters need to go higher or lower in the alphabet.

It’s meant to be short, clean, and a little more deduction-focused than a standard daily word puzzle.

If anyone wants to try it, I’d really appreciate feedback.

Would love feedback on TUMBLER, a daily 4-letter word game with crew leaderboards

I’ve been building a daily word game called TUMBLER for over 5 months now, and I’m releasing it publicly today.

The puzzle is simple to pick up: you get 6 tries to crack a 4-letter code. But instead of standard Wordle-style feedback, each guess gives you color + directional clues, so you’re narrowing letters by whether they need to go higher or lower in the alphabet.

The part I think makes it a little different is the crew leaderboard.

You can absolutely play it solo, but you can also create or join a crew and compare daily results with friends. I wanted it to feel less like “post your score and forget it” and more like an ongoing mini rivalry around the daily puzzle.

A few quick things:

•    free

•    browser-based

•    mobile-friendly

•    one daily puzzle

•    optional crew competition

Would love honest feedback on:

•    whether the clue system feels intuitive

•    whether the puzzle feels satisfying to solve

•    whether the crew leaderboard actually adds something meaningful

If you try it, I’d really love to hear your first impression.
