Ublock seems to work with this one.

I'd enjoy it if the rules with some graphics are displayed near the game, for newbies.
replye.g. show a word with some green letters and that they have to be in the same spot in the other word. e.g. FUBAR with green B -> __B__
FUBAR with yellow R -> RRRR_ (with gray background and white R to signify "has to be placed somewhere here")
And for the gray letters, I guess.. show them next to the _____ in a trash can?

We are asked to allow hundreds of cookies, not just a few, to play the game.

I hope NYT lawyers don't come for you. They did for many other variants of this. Maybe reconsider the name?

One thing I find odd about the rules: it forces you to respect what you've learned via green or yellow tiles, but not gray tiles. The spirit of the rules suggests once you've learned a letter is not in the word, you shouldn't be able to reuse that letter. Perhaps that would simply make the game too difficult, though.

This is amazing, and incredible difficult (or I'm terrible), after ~10 minutes I can't even get in a third guess!

What does "you have already eliminated the letter T" mean?
replycodechicago277 6 minutes ago
You already guessed a word that had a “T” in it, and the game confirmed that “T” is not in the word. So you can’t guess another word with a “T”.

This is quite fun, but I can’t believe the amount of cookies it wants to set!

finally a game that respects that I already know all five-letter words and would rather be told not to use them

I see that terrible cookie permission window (62 legitimate interest) and I close the window,
