Five-letter guessing with a D-pad letter wheel instead of a keyboard
About
Wordle reworked for a keyboardless HUD. Spin the letter wheel with up/down, lock each tile with Enter, and the grid colors in green/amber as you'd expect. One puzzle a day, plus an endless mode for the walk home.

love that it's one puzzle a day and not a feed. the wheel showing the neighbor letters (▲S ▼U) so you can pre-aim before you scroll is a really nice touch on a keyboardless thing.
Feature ask: let me spin the wheel past Z and wrap back to A. Right now scrolling from A down to find S means going the long way, and a wrap would shave a couple D-pad presses per tile.
Good catches — streaks are separate by design (daily vs endless), but the reset-to-0 on switch is a display bug, the daily streak is still stored. Fix is in the next build. Amber/green differentiation is on the list too.
Endless mode for the walk home is the part I keep coming back to. Does the streak counter carry over from daily into endless, or are they tracked separately? Mine reset to 0 when I switched.
Green and amber tiles read cleanly on the additive display, but the amber sits a bit close to the green for me at a glance. Could the 'present' state get a different shape or a dimmer fill instead of relying on hue?
The up/down letter wheel locking each tile with Enter is genuinely faster than I expected once you stop trying to spell the whole word at once. Got my first solve in under a minute on the walk to school.
