Update:

The game amazingly had 132,411 players yesterday and received tons of player feedback. After a long night talking with players and play testing I’ve shipped the following changes:

.

1. I’ve kept the 30 second timer but you now continue through the whole 18 words to get a final score of x/18.

2. I’ve added a new share feature to better show your result in a similar Wordle style.

.

Thanks again for all the feedback and for checking out the game!

I didn't see this until this morning, and the continuing through for the whole 18 words was a really good experience. I got 14/18, and that was much more satisfying than ending at my first failure.
Just want to say that I love the update!

I didn't read the comments after trying it out yesterday so I was surprised by the change, but it definitely feels better to keep going.
