I went 0/25 for correct moves, but I see by the solution that I did move the correct pieces at times. Perhaps that could be given the yellow color to highlight which pieces are involved? Otherwise novices like me are stuck if they never find that initial move.

I am planning to add a third color for the correct piece, but wrong move. Just need to find out what to do if it _also_ yellow. Maybe show both colors? I'll figure out something. Thanks for the feedback!
I'd suggest that the current yellow isn't very useful. Right piece wrong move=yellow seems much closer to the spirit for me
I was actually in the opposite boat. Right move, wrong time was intuitive and I would be lost if a box was yellow and I actually made a wrong move. Maybe "right piece wrong move" could be a yellow outlined box with grey inside or something.
I have seen some other language wordles use yellow or green coloring of upper diagonal part when the consonants is right but wrong sound. That could be an approach. See how to at https://solladal.github.io/wordle-tamil/. (I don't think there is translation. But pictures should give the idea)
That's what I went with. I have implemented this feature now: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1413265/180040056-..., but haven't deployed it yet. Thanks for the suggestions!
