This is really, really cool. I think telling me how many moves I have to go back in the hint was absolutely a must-do, and shouldn't cost two hints... Second-guessing every single move I made would be insane, but knowing I had to go back seven, and pick something different than the last thing I restored, that worked fine.

It's easy to assume making a word disappear is always the right choice, but you forget it changes the word it leaves behind as well. Very clever.

It does have the same quirk Wordle had that bugged me: Treating browser storage as useful in our multidevice world.

It's also easy to make the opposite assumption, that the goal is to change the other word. I initially felt weird about changing from a letter at position 3 to the same letter at position 1, but eventually realised that the goal is just to slide the word around, not necessarily to make a new word.
