alt Hacker NewsCool game, but I don't like how you get only one chance. Even returning to the page, you can't try again to beat your previous score. No replayability value at all.

It shows you what the exit routes are, what your score will be, and you can move the gates around as long as you want, so the means of finding the maximum area are entirely within your grasp.
I disagree about the replayability aspect. It‘s a daily challenge, so come back tomorrow. I quite like it.
IMO they should have a (second) pop-up that warns you that you only get one submit. Not sure if it should let you know if you've made an optimal solution or not, but since it's not timed there's no cost in slowing people down. I've seen similar daily puzzles where you get to see the leaderboard and then can go back and optimize further. Yes, it says it at the beginning, but it's still easy to forget.
Click the sandwich icon in the top right, then either Past Puzzles or Browse, and you can play more puzzles. (Or even create and submit your own.)
You can just remove/change walls after having placed all. You see your current score, but can keep iterating.
You get one submit but you can press reset and find better solutions even though you can’t submit it to the leaderboard

You can just test without submitting though?
bruh it’s like Wordle, come back tomorrow
The one shot per day provides a reason to sink your teeth into one board.
I love Wordle but I found it unplayable when I used that Wordle archive site to play infinite games since there was no reason to think deeply about the 10th+ round I was playing in one sitting.
