Daily cadence with streak tracking follows the Wordle-era playbook for retention and return visits.
-
Forkle Duo adds a social/challenge layer, letting players send head-to-head invites to friends.
-
The constraint of a shared grid means both crosswords must be co-designed to fit the same cell geometry, a non-trivial puzzle-construction problem.
