I've been playing the pinyin wordle semi-regularly, and my wife does the chengyu one every day!

Anyway, I get that the "Chinese Wordle" tweet is meant to be a joke, but it's kind of a misconception that all words in Chinese are a single character... There are actually many words that are formed from multiple characters. Four character idioms are also very common, hence many of the Wordle clones use that as the format.
