Looking at the source code, I think there's no such bug. The `to_result` function first colors in green exact matches and counts wrong position letters, then it colors in yellow theses counted letters that are still uncolored. https://github.com/nolenroyalty/wardle/blob/main/app.py#L45

Ah! That's a great idea re: monospace-ness. I haven't put a playable version online just because I wasn't super excited at spending much more time on something that is Firefox-only just because that limits the audience a bit. I'm toying with some other unusual vectors for games - I may end up putting this game online when I've got a more complete set of games to share. If you're really curious it is not too painful to run this locally: * add `127.0.0.1 searchgame` to /etc/hosts (or s/searchgame/127.0.0.1 in the wardle repo) * clone https://github.com/nolenroyalty/wardle * install flask if applicable, then `flask --app app run` * visit http://searchgame/ in firefox * right-click on the address bar and click "add searchGame" * now you can type "searchg<TAB>" to start playing wordle I don't mention it in the article but the fact

that in Firefox you have to right-click on the address bar was another bit of friction that pushed me away from fleshing this idea out .
