Inspired by Wordle, the goal of Commander Codex is to uncover a hidden Commander in 6 guesses or less. With each guess you make, you’ll receive new information to help you arrive at the correct answer. Currently, we’re pulling from the top 500 Commanders on EDHREC. \n\nCommander Codex includes two modes: "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Daily Mode"},{"insert":" and "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Infinite Mode"},{"insert":".\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Daily Mode"},{"insert":" is a once-per-day puzzle with the same answer for all players. We track Daily Mode statistics such as win streaks and how many guesses it’s taken you to uncover the hidden Commander each day. Once you’ve completed (or failed!) Daily Mode, you can share your results via any platform that supports emojis. Importantly, the way your results are shared does not give away the hidden Commander—only an outline of the path that it took you to get there. So no worries about spoilers for your friends! Daily Mode resets for everybody at 12:00 am Pacific Time each day. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Infinite Mode"},{"insert":" is played exactly the same way as Daily Mode. However, as the name implies, it’s infinite! Every time you open a new game in Infinite Mode, a new hidden Commander is randomly selected. You can play this mode as many times as you’d like.\n\nThis game is challenging. If you find yourself struggling for card names, we’ve included a “View Cards” button that will bring up the 500 Commanders from which we pull our hidden answers. Additional information about how the game works can be found via the ? icon at the top of the screen.\n\n"},{"insert":{"image":"https://i.imgur.com/rvnAigf.png"}},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"insert":{"image":"https://i.imgur.com/x9yA1SB.png"}},{"insert":"\n\nWe hope you enjoy Commander Codex as much as we have! Sharing and feedback are both greatly appreciated. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"link":"https://commandercodex.com"},"insert":"https://commandercodex.com"},{"insert":"\n\nThe Archidekt Team\n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Would it be possible to add accessibility options for colourblind people? I'm having a hard time noticing the difference between yellow matches and green matches. A simple tooltip when we hover over the match saying if it's a partial match, complete match or no match at all should do the trick.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Yes! We've implemented a change that adds a setting that I think should be helpful. \n\nSo thankful for this comment! When we build sites we try our best to build them with accessibility in mind, but clearly we missed the mark here and I'm sorry about that.\n\nIf what we've done isn't as helpful as we think it might be, please let us know.\n\nThe reason we didn't just implement it the way you suggested was because on mobile, tooltips aren't the most helpful thing in the world. So hopefully what we've done get's the job done. If not, like I said, please let us know!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Brilliant idea!\n\nAfter playing every day to date, I have some feedback:\nAllow us to sign in with our architect accounts so the stats can be tracked across multiple devices. Personally, I have 2 profiles on my PC (one for work, one for personal), and sometimes I just play on the work profile on my lunch break, so my stats are split across these three devices). I'd rather have my stats on one profile for bragging rights w/ my friends. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Add a search filter to the list of 500 commanders. Having all there is great for reference, but it is very difficult mentally to scroll through all of them, where most are irrelevant to my guess's thus far."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I don't think you say it in your description of the game, but a reminder that planeswalker commanders ( that don't have a p/t at any point) will appear as pow + tou = 0"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I agree with your second point immensely. As someone who doesn't know too many commanders I end up guessing nearly at random. This would be an amazing way to learn new commanders you didn't know existed.\n"}]}
