I **love** Dordle! Much more than original Wordle in fact. Exercises my brain so much more.

As seen below, I ran into a situation where I happened to get all 5 letters correct on one side, across different guesses. But I still had to use up an actual guess on it, even though that's redundant.

So I'd like to request that if you get all 5 squares green, even if not in the same try, that it still counts as win -- in other words, if I'd taken an extra guess to get "vicar" right and therefore run out of guesses, that it still would have counted as a win on both sides?

hmm. I've never run into that, but I don't think I'd like that rule.

I mean, you still never guessed the word until you guess all the letters in order in one guess. Just like in wheel of Fortune, you can get every letter in the puzzle ,but you still have to say the answer out loud.

Another reason for keeping this as is is that you could do the same thing in Wordle, and keeping Dordle as close as possible to Wordle (but with the twist) makes sense.

I say this sort of hypocritically as I designed the variant Squardle, and there the analogous thing works the way you suggest. But it's for other reasons than what I described above.

I would not support this change.  If one wants to avoid that situation, one can keep using the "solved" letters (in this example, guessing FORTY instead of FORGE, since it was known that it ended in TY).  Sure, sometimes one wants to spread out the letters to gain more information.  But that's a choice one makes.
