It's like Hangman not Wordle
Grey-haired back-end dev has a go at a web-based game using html/css/js only. The interface is (very) similar to Wordle, but it's a different game based on guess-the-word letter-by-letter Hangman.
It's like Hangman not Wordle launched on October 2, 2022 with 12 votes, #1,170 of 3,153 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
It's like Hangman not Wordle is a web-based guessing game built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Players guess letters one at a time to figure out a hidden word, using the classic Hangman format rather than Wordle's row-based approach. The interface resembles Wordle's design despite the different gameplay mechanics. Intended for word game enthusiasts, it offers a straightforward implementation of the traditional letter-guessing game in a modern browser format.

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 :)

Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
