Just did a round and it's rather engaging. Great job! I'll definitely add it to my list of daily wordle-esque puzzles.

One suggestion I have is to not count internal anchor-links as jumps as all it is, is skipping scrolling through the page.

Additionally, just as I clicked on my target link, the whole website froze. I deeply apologize if I broke your work by clicking on a Mango.

Wow thank you so much! I have managed to solve the bug thanks to your insights, much appreciated! The internal anchors should not count as jumps anymore and the bug that made your page freeze should be fixed. (You may need to clear the website storage in your browser).

Thank you again!

Love it! especially that it let's you go again to try and do better! I'd like to see my best times and link scores maybe, and possibly an overall leaderboard too if possible. Also, maybe the theoretical limit of fewest clicks?

that's all embellishments, though, the core game is very good!

I think I discovered a bug: I clicked on 'cubist' in an article, which redirected me to 'cubism' but it didn't register as a win, although it should have. I think that these redirections are quite common on wikipedia, so that's something that needs to be fixed.

Thanks for playing again and reporting the bug! 100%, I'll look into it.

haha no worries, I remember doing these challenges during breaks at school, so it's a nice hit of nostalgia to play this again!

I think the autotune the news guys even made a whole series on this back in the day, called wikiwars, so for me it's like double nostalgia

Today’s seems to be broken? ‘Muscle’ doesn’t exist as a standalone page, it redirects to ‘Skeletal muscle’ but it doesn’t recognise this as the valid answer when you get there. It doesn’t accept ‘muscle (disambiguation)’ either.

Yes, it was broken, so sorry. I fixed a but and introduced another one. It should be fixed now!
