What happened
Don't Wordle is a free daily browser game that inverts Wordle's rules: you get six tries but must avoid guessing the hidden word, using color clues to keep as many valid words in play as possible. It includes a limited undo mechanic and stat tracking with shareable results.
Why it matters
No practical takeaway for builders; this is a casual word game with no developer, AI, startup, or Malaysian tech relevance.
Discussion angle
At most a 30-second icebreaker: the reverse-Wordle mechanic is mildly clever but not worth a real segment.
