About 词影
About this game
A Chinese idiom guessing game that combines pictograms with Wordle guessing.
Players have six chances to guess a four-character idiom (usually a common idiom). After each guess, mark the difference between the answer and the color of the stroke.
If the words and answers are exactly the same, they will be marked with a green background.
If the word is wrong, but the stroke is the same as that of the correct answer, the correct stroke will be displayed in green.
If the word is wrong, the stroke is not exactly the same as that of the correct answer, but it is very similar. This stroke will be displayed in black and gray - the darker the color, the more similar the answer.
Story
It was the third day of the third month of the ninth year of Yonghe, the beginning of spring.
Wang Xizhi, who was then the internal historian of Huiji, invited you and forty-one other literati to gather at the Lanting Pavilion in the shade of the Huiji Mountains to drink wine and make poems.
When the people were drunk on the aroma of wine and poetry, Xie Wan proposed a game to help them enjoy it!
Wang Xizhi clapped his hands and said, "I have an idea for a game called "Chinese Wordle"."
He turned his back on the crowd and wrote some words on the scroll. Then Wang Xizhi turned around and hid the scroll behind him, and he smiled at the crowd and said.
"Gentlemen, it is well known that the beauty of Chinese characters lies in their form. On this scroll, I have written a four-character idiom, you can guess what I have written. It doesn't matter if you get it wrong, I will tell you the resemblance, which is called "Chinese Wordle"."

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
"词影" is a poorly made quiz game where you guess at various Chinese idioms. What do you do in the game? You're presented with a pictogram and you need to guess at the meaning in Chinese characters. A bit like Hangman, which, as a game, doesn't need to be published on Steam, because it could be done in a web page. Just like this. There's no English translation for the game, but that's okay. The language of bad games is universal. For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images... it might as well be a web page. It's functionally no different from a browser game. And we all know, Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox. If the game can be done in a web browser, it's just not rich or compelling enough to appeal to serious gamers on PC. The graphics aren't great, mostly text with a couple of static images. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better…
