Got it with two days to spare, though I will say it was kinda unintuitive to figure out, especially at the start. I had to frequently re-read the description before I figured out what I was doing, and everything could use a lil more visual feedback to help in figuring out what's going on, plus a bit of tutorial would be very nice. That said, god was it satisfying to figure out eventually. I really like having to decide on throwing away a day for a guess to confirm, or spending fractions of days for the smaller, still revealing boosts. It's a damn good concept and really good game, once you get the hang of it.

I had a tutorial and it was really bad. Like, I think it made it harder to understand 😅 but you're right. I think i should have gotten one of those rpg dialogue plugins people use and had it just sort of walk through what's going on but I didn't have time.
Better yet, if I just called it/described it as Wordle/Mastermind with Hints, it may have been easier to understand!
Glad you were able to beat it eventually! Thanks for the feedback!
