this is unrelated to the gameplay but i think it’s interesting how the colour palette can be used in different ways. here it looks very colourful, but Pipe Bind makes it look like an orange palette, and in my submission it looks mostly grayscale with occasional red and yellow objects.
I think I managed to figure out all of the rules, but I didn't feel like trying to engineer a solution under those constraints so I just tried stuff that felt like they might fit until I found something. The solution I got was ZG9taW5v (Base64)
So fun!!! My word was bm90aW9u (Base64 encoding for spoilers!)
I had to look up what Green wanted though, felt very tricky! If anyone would like some hints instead of solutions, here's a hint for every single eater! Purple · RXZlbiwgVW5ldmVu Blue · TG92ZXMgYSBzaW5nbGUgdGhpbmch Green · RGlzbGlrZXMgZ2liYmVyaXNo Yellow · Q29uc2VjdXRpdmUgb3JkZXIh Orange · Tm90IHRvbyBtdWNoLCBub3QgdG9vIGxpdHRsZQ== Red · QXQgbGVhc3QgdHdvIHRpbWVzIGlzIEdvb2QgZW5vdWdo
Hope it helps! Thank you Daniel for another cool experience :3 💛
After solving this (and getting an answer distinct from the ones everyone else who commented found), I wrote a quick and dirty python script and ran it on the ENABLE wordlist. There are in fact 1290 different correct answers. Here's 10 random ones (in base64):
I took your wordlist and compared it against mine; there are a lot of (mostly really obscure) words that site knows that aren't on the version of the ENABLE list I have (which might be out of date?). The three words you had that I didn't which I actually recognized as words are a25vd2hvdywgbW9ub255bSwgYW5kIG5vb25lcgo=
The others are much, much more obscure --- a randomly selected one is ZW5vc2VzCg==.
Anyways, awesome regex. My technique was a lot less compact, writing fairly unimaginative, workmanlike python code to test out each of the individual criteria.
Very cute and clever! Figuring out the rules was enjoyable, then finding something that satisfied them took the mental efforts of my partner and I working together.

i dont understand... pls help
I got the puzzle with Y2FiYW5h (x64). Very nice!
I was confused at first but after a while I understood what each little guys wanted!!
Very nice game, love the simple yet effective, colorful pixelart too, great job :D
edit - now I want to eat a soup with alphabet letters

A great little rule discovery puzzle. I'd happily play this with more levels and rules to figure out.
Tried bm9vZGxlCg== at random, it worked (base 64)
Had to look for green's rule in the comments.
Even with that, it took me some time to find a valid word (I'm a non native english speaker).
Nice little game

Very nice. Solved with vafvtug (rot13)
Solved with bm9vZGxl. Great little game, I second the other commenter who wanted a daily wordle-like version
This was a nice little blend of rule discovery and finding words that fit the rules. My winning word was (rot13) BCRARQ.

Purple · RXZlbiwgVW5ldmVu

Yellow · Q29uc2VjdXRpdmUgb3JkZXIh

Red · QXQgbGVhc3QgdHdvIHRpbWVzIGlzIEdvb2QgZW5vdWdo
Hope it helps! Thank you Daniel for another cool experience :3 💛
what all that letters and numbers mean?
its base 64, use a base 64 decoder
bm9vZGxl
cool game! i won with YW5hbHlzdA== (base 64 encoding)
I got YmFib29u (x64) but I feel like I got there off of only Blue, Red, Purple, and Orange. Still have no idea what Green and Yellow want out of me :P

Wait, never mind, I forgot to code red's rule in my script. There are actually only 296 words. Here's 10 random ones:
ZW5hYmxlCmFub3JhawpkZWVwZW4KY2Vuc2Vycwpvb2hpbmcKaGlwcGluZwpub3hpb3VzCnBpdGhpbmcKcGlzaGluZwphbm94aWFzCg==
only 296? i wrote a regex that found 444. i used this website, but i dont know what word list its using

solved it with
aW5zaWdodAo=
in base 64 :D very nice puzzle, had a lot of fun with it!!
please im so confused, what does that mean?
found an amusing solution
bm9vc2Vz
in base 64
Fun little game
Great fun! Accidentally typed a valid answer early on but still enjoyed figuring out each critter's rule :)
got
YWJlbGlhbg==
in base 64
my solution was
YW1uZXNpYQ==
in base64 :3
wish there was a bit more explanation, but it was really fun!!
never figured out orange, but won anyway.
the rule for blue is such a joke.
figured out all the rules but green, more testing required.
figured out green. now to put it all together
I win!!! I wonder how many different words win.
solved it! such a cool puzzle, it was very entertaining to look for an answer :)
once i got all the conditions, it still took me some time to find a word that satisfies everyone :D
I loved it!
Are there several solutions?
yes, there are :)
i just guessed randomly lol. are there multiple valid answers?
ok checking the comments for the rules, there are several
How I play this?
Type a word. You win if all six critters like your word.
correction, type a sequence of letters
You are looking for the "word" that all of the eaters are happy to eat.
You should speculate about each picky eater's taste.
the green is SO picky
I'm having more trouble to satisfy yellow personalty
I would never imagine this word actually existed in the english dictionary!
That green one has a face that fits how particular the little bugger is.
Oooh, I win! (Some day I hope to know what wakes up the leftmost eater.)
spoiler below
he likes consonants and odd amounts of letters (i think)
Very cute and clever! Figuring out the rules was enjoyable, then finding something that satisfied them took the mental efforts of my partner and I working together.
This was fun, it felt like I was lockpicking.
Here's a list of the rules in Base64:
This is my favorite way I've ever seen someone hide a spoiler.
Thank you! I was confused by yellow because I was so focussed on the keyboard.
Solved! This would be fun as a wordle like daily game!
I intuited the answer by "vibes", now to work out all the rules that underpin it!
solved it! very cute
Tantalizing, wish I had time just now to crack the code...
