My partner and I built a daily word game that has elements of the Mini Crossword, Wordle, and Spelling Bee, with some twists all its own. I’ve been fairly obsessed with the New York Times crossword puzzle ever since I saw the documentary Wordplay about 12 years ago. I started with Mondays and gradually made my way up to Saturdays, and when I began to appreciate the puzzles as aesthetic objects worthy of appreciation and criticism (rather than just a slog to survive and then brag about), I began to wonder what it would be like to create puzzles. But making full crossword puzzles was always…

Howdy HN. I wanted an excuse to do some lightweight JS/TS development and to get reacquainted with the Cloudflare stack, so I put together a daily word game. It's partially inspired by NYT's Spelling Bee and Wordle. The main goal is to find a specific word each day that uses each provided letter at least once. There's a secondary goal of finding as many words as possible. Right now progress is all stored on-device, but in the future I might add leaderboards or other competitive elements. Hope y'all enjoy!

I made a new daily word game for web and iOS which is a funky mix of scrabble and boggle. Each day everyone gets the same randomly generated configuration of bonus tiles and letters on a grid. The app is written completely in SwiftUI and the web port is written in ts/react. Both use the same random seeds each day.

I built this daily puzzle game called "Omitten". The idea came from a compulsive habit I got from reading books on an e-reader and constantly looking up definitions (iykyk). Quite often you'd see a single word with 20 different meanings in different contexts, and I wanted to build a game around that. In the game you get a maximum of 4 clues. The first one will generally be an archaic form or an unusual context. The second and third pivot into entirely different domains to try and trick your brain, and by the fourth, it should be fairly obvious. You start with only the first clue, and as you…

Hey HN, During my free time over 3 week summer vacation, I created a word game where you explain the word of the day to a language model using the most frequent 1,100 English words. I've been describing this to friends as "Wordle meets Thing Explainer". Hope you all enjoy it!

Gram Jam is a spatial word game where the goal is to efficiently utilize your limited tile swaps to make words. Since initial launch, I've added a second mode. There is now the classic: an endless arcade style where you're going for high points, and the daily: where you have a fixed number of swaps and you have to clear 36 tiles. I've been developing Gram Jam for the last two years with the goal of creating a more challenging word game while learning interactive web design. This week I launched the user account feature which allows user data backup and account sync. I have also spent a _ton_…

The idea is to get from a starting word to a target word by creating a list of words to go in the middle. You can only change one letter at a time. Yesterday's words: https://twitter.com/ChangelistGame/status/1518695582151237632 Today's game: https://changelist.rocks/

Riddler is a daily, casual word game. Move down the word path by changing one letter at a time, using riddle and image clues to proceed. What's different about Riddler compared to _most_ casual word games is that it's designed to generate its own puzzles and content autonomously with LLMs. I say _most_ casual word games because there is a brilliant exception – Wordle. [https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html] The genius of Wordle lies in its simplicity. Players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word, receiving feedback for each guess in the form of…

Motplot and has the vibe of Sudoku if you played it with words instead of numbers. I made it so I would stop losing at bananagrams to my 99 year old grandma, but she beats me at this too. It's free, there's a new puzzle daily, hope you like it!

WordBattle is a daily 6-letter word guessing game with team leaderboards. The twist: AI agents get their own accounts, play the same daily puzzle, and rank alongside human players. It's also really fun to play in teams against your family, friends and co-workers. Agents are handicapped — humans see exact letter positions (correct/present/absent), but agents only learn whether a letter exists in the word or not. No positional info. It makes the game fair while giving agents a genuine challenge. Agent accounts are visually tagged on leaderboards so humans know who they're competing…

I love the dictionary game: someone takes an unfamiliar word from the dictionary and writes down the definition. Then the other players come up with their own, fake, definition, and guess which one is real. I built a Wordle-style daily game out of this concept. You get shown a word and four definitions and it's up to you to figure out which one is real. There are five new words to try every day. The real definitions are from Wiktionary, the fake ones are made up by Claude (and sometimes me). Let me know what you think, and how this could be improved!
