I'm sure we all remember the millions of clones 2018's Wordle spawned after it's popularity boom 2021 and this game is no exception, being the exact same game just with nice graphics. Only one round of Wordle is played in this TAS as there doesn't seem to be any unique content afterwards, resulting in the actual gameplay section lasting roughly 16 frames.
The word used in the TAS is 'kitty' which is the word when starting the game on frame 106 (the first possible frame is 102). One trick I did find was the ability for the hand to move at incredible speeds. This can be done by holding a vertical and horizontal direction at the same time, though the horizontal direction needs to be pressed second and there were only certain frames it worked but other times, it'd always work. I don't fully understand it but trial and error worked in the end. Going at these fast speeds also skips the animation when pressing keys which stops the hand. To get to Y as fast as possible, I select a letter then press B to delete it, warping the hand to the backspace which is close to the Y. This doesn't lose any time over just moving the hand but it makes it a more slightly interesting choice of movement.

feos: Claiming for judging.
feos: Added input that skips to the level results screen, because otherwise it looks unfinished.
feos: For games without an ending, we allow only completing one loop, and for this game that's just one word. I can't see any trace of increasing difficulty, and new content being different words doesn't make it easier to define a farther ending point other than maximum score. Accepting.

despoa: Processing...

I like the Mario Bros. graphical theme. A bit strange to have a speed-entertainment tradeoff in a run this short and hard to follow, but it shouldn't stop it from being published. No vote for entertainment though.

If you're referring to the using the backspace to get to Y, it takes the exact same amount of time as just moving the hand to the right. I worded that badly, I'll change it

Personally would rather have seen an "all answers" variation to be done, instead of a one and done which is why I voted no. It's just incomplete. There's not much here in the first place, and just comes off something more suitable to playground to me, much like the Game Boy version which existed prior.

What would it do? Manipulate all the words in the (answer) dictionary to appear in order?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

All words that are available within this version, it doesn't have to be alphabetical.

Do they ever repeat if you just keep playing? Also how many does it have?

Do you have to manipulate them not to repeat? Is yes, then I can't consider that the only acceptable completion criterion, because it would mean the game is incredibly hard to complete in real time, and depends on luck if you ever do. If no, then we still allow completing just one loop, and fuller movies would obsolete it.

Sorry, only just seeing these posts somehow. Is there a list of all words available in this version, because it seems like there is but I can't seem to find one. I'd quite like to try out all words even if it is going to be a stupidly long run
