Entering guesses gives free feedback

[loftyinclination]

the current method of entering guesses gives instant feedback to the user about what was correct and not. I don't really care about cheating, it's easy enough to get the list of answers, but it'd be nice to only get validation after you've entered everything.

propose not giving any clues green/yellow squares until the "confirm guess" button is pressed, at which point it will be verified that you've made the correct guess (on the correct day)

The original idea of the website was to be a place to visit after you have played wordle to share your results, with the instant coloring being feedback that you are correctly typing in your wordle results. This "don't play wordle here" behavior is sort of doubled down on by not having line by line text entry but rather a UI that encourages entering the whole grid at once, and lacking the guessing UI niceties like the colored keyboard indicating which letters you have/have not used. Making the sharedle input screen nice enough to play wordle on would be a bigger UI lift than I would personally prefer to execute. (but willing to look at a pull request if anyone feels really that motivated)

All that being said, it would be pretty simple to add a user settings toggle on whether or not to live color the input grid if people really did want to not have it for playing reasons or any other personal preference, and I would definitely consider just doing that if desired.

I think "don't play wordle here" is a valuable goal -- the main site is pretty good, and I like how standalone it is.

I don't think this is an urgent thing to do (it was mainly an issue when I was on the wrong page when entering things in my backlog)
