Seconding this. What's so refreshing about Wordle is just how respectful it is of the user's time and attention. Beyond the "one a day, and you're done" structure, Wordle's presentation is clean, snappy, and completely relevant to the task at hand.

I like Three Magic Words's gameplay, but yeah, the presentation left a very sour taste in my mouth. I just want to solve a puzzle and that's it. No need for superfluous animation or scoring.
