    I created a daily challenge for Prompt Engineers to build the shortest prompt to break a system prompt. You are provided the system prompt and a forbidden method the LLM was told not to invoke. Your task is to trick the model into calling the function. Shortest successful attempts will show up in the leaderboard. Give it a shot! You never know what could break an LLM.

    Hi HN, Matle is a daily chess puzzle inspired by Wordle. You're shown a checkmate position with 5 hidden squares, and your goal is to guess what’s on them to complete the mate. Someone kindly shared it here a few months ago before I had the chance to post it myself. I’m the creator, and wanted to share a few new features based on feedback, and hear your thoughts. You can now view the original game behind each puzzle, get explanations for why a guess isn’t checkmate, and see daily solving stats. Would love to hear what you think: https://matle.io

    Mentally calculating the day-of-the-week for any date in history sounds like an impossible task for a normal person, but the algorithm is actually pretty simple to learn. Although there are tutorials for this elsewhere online, and little quizzes available, there didn't seem to be anything well optimised with multiple practice modes etc. I originally created a basic version of this just for myself, but a small group of friends and family found it interesting and gave suggestions such as the daily game. Multi-lingual support is a bit rudimentary at the moment, it will only translate the month…

    Hi HN, I was late to wordle, so I am also late to making my own version. In Spindle, you rotate words on a grid with the aim of assembling the day’s target word. I enjoy it, so I thought some of you might enjoy it too. From a tech perspective, it’s a very simple Laravel / Livewire app. My happy place in recent years has been Typescript and SvelteKit, so this was a bit of an adjustment, but it allowed me to take advantage of an existing shared hosting server meaning no additional financial outlay. Happy to report a positive experience with PHP and this framework, although I do miss…

    Wordle reminded me of Mastermind, a game I played as kid, so just for fun I made a version of the game that plays a lot more like Mastermind. I think this version is way more challenging :)

    I've been playing Wordle and remembered this puzzle game I used to play with my grandfather. It's inspired by the block puzzles in many newspapers but made to be shorter: just guess the nine letter word. So I made a quick thing to play with my family like we used to. I thought you guys might enjoy it.
