Does “warmer/colder” beat colored tiles for word puzzles? or is it just harder?

TempText launched as a temperature-driven anagram game: the player drags letters around, and the board goes ice-cold when they've lost and burns when they re close.

  • No green/yellow tiles.

  • Warmth = how close the tiles are to their real slots.

We ve been watching people play and keep hitting the same split:

  1. Some love it: They say they feel progress before they see the word, and the climate/haptics make short sessions addictive.

  2. Some bounce: They want the instant clarity of "Wordle-style" feedback and find colder too vague when stuck unscrambling letters.
