Shabdle: Nepali Word Game

शब्दले — one Nepali word a day. Every day there is a new Nepali word, the same word for everyone. You have six tries to find it. After each guess the tiles tell you how close you were, and a result you can share as an emoji grid. BUILT FOR DEVANAGARI, NOT BORROWED FROM ENGLISH Shabdle is played in aksharas — whole syllables like सा, न्छे or ग — not in single letters. A tile holds one akshara, the way Nepali is actually read. And each tile is scored in two halves: the consonant and the vowel are judged separately. So a guess can tell you "the consonant is right, the vowel is wrong" — the kind of hint that makes a syllable-based word game solvable instead of a coin toss. Under each letter, a small mark names the vowel being scored, written in its independent form: आ, इ, ए. A bare consonant carries the unwritten अ, and the mark says so out loud rather than leaving you to guess what turned green. A DEVANAGARI KEYBOARD IS BUILT IN No need to install a Nepali keyboard. Shabdle brings its own, with all 33 consonants, every vowel and every matra. Matra keys light up only when a consonant is waiting for one, so you always know what you can type next. Tap any letter you have already typed to go back and fix just that one.
