I made a unique word game that got a Webby Nomination
WordGlyph: Where the alphabet is made of straight sticks. Find the word using the fewest. A new kind of word puzzle - now on iOS and Android.
I made a unique word game that got a Webby Nomination launched on April 10, 2025 with 6 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
What it does
Every stick reveals information. A green stick is part of the letter. A red stick is not part of the letter. Each guess eliminates letter possibilities. Score from Neophyte to Lucky Genius. Track your stats, compare with friends, and chase the perfect game. A fresh word drops every midnight. Miss a day? The full archive is always therefrom wordglyph.xyz

Letters2015 · thelettersgame.com · ▲71I 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.

Wordfall2025 · playwordfall.com · ▲13I've been working on this for a while as an experiment and I'm now pretty happy with it. I've always written code, but I've always been a frankly incompetent frontend developer, and I've never really been able to talk myself into making a game; it was just too much trouble, even though I had ideas I wanted to try! Claude Code made it possible for the first time. I hope you like it. I'm still working on it!

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
