- (decision) Problem framing: learning BMad method via hands-on pet project. Wordle clone = familiar domain, right scope, rich enough for full workflow
- (decision) Solution: feature-complete Wordle clone plus ownable codebase for future extension. Learning tool first, potential product second.
- (decision) Key differentiators: computer word ranking (objective difficulty via solver) and computer guessing (teaching tool + subgame). Everything else builds on these.
- (decision) Audience: self → friends → public (if no copyright issues). Codebase as BMad reference for other devs.
- (decision) V1 scope: browser-playable game with green/yellow/gray, multiple solver algorithms, word ranking. All brainstorm extras (hints, learning layer, streaks, daily+infinite, percentile, adaptive difficulty, computer subgame) are post-v1.
- (decision) Post-v1: friends vote on next feature. Vision: solver-first core, community-driven iteration, full brainstorm features available if traction grows.
