This is a silly idea I had a couple years ago that I just recently launched. It's a slow, globally shared word "game" (or experiment?) to find the Last Word on Earth. It starts with about 174k words on a board and anyone in the world can click a word to remove it from the board. Poof, gone. Eventually, the whole world will have decided on one word that remains (other milestone numbers are tracked as well). I imagine it's going to take a while to get down to a single word, but once that happens, it will be recorded and a fresh board will repopulate to start again. And again and again. There…

What it does
One global board. Everyone strikes a word. The last word still standing wins. Saved to Last Words. A new round has already begun behind this card — screenshot anytime. Survival milestones — and the one that outlasts them all. Last Word on Earth is a slow, shared word game with a single rule: click any word to strike it from the board. The catch is that everyone plays the same board at the same time, so words don't only vanish when you click — they disappear as people elsewhere strike them too. Chip away long enough and exactly one word is left standing. That word is the last word. When a board empties down to its final survivor, the winner is recorded on the Last Words…from lastwordonearth.com

Whittle – A shrinking word game2025 · playwhittle.com · ▲141Whittle is a small word game I've been working on. Each phrase must be whittled down by one letter (or space) each turn. The remaining phrase must still consist of valid words. That's it! There's a daily puzzle, as well as an archive of old puzzles. The idea for the game came to me in a dream (really) and I built the puzzle generator with my partner, who's also a software engineer. It's a labor of love! Any feedback or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for playing!
Omiword – A daily, sector-based word puzzle2025 · omiword.com · ▲56Hi everybody. I occasionally make little browser-based games, and this is my latest attempt. It's not quite done, but it's quite playable (note: it does include audio): https://www.omiword.com/ This has been my occasional tinker target for ~5 years now, starting in the early days of Covid. The objective is to drag letter tiles within certain boundaries to spell four common American-English words. It hasn't got ads or anything, it's just supposed to be fun for its own sake. If people happen to like it, I might add an option for folks to make a small, one-time payment to unlock…
Word Slicer2024 · wordslicer.com · ▲85I shared Word Slicer here a while back — it’s a free, ad-free, browser-based word game where you try to find 5 words in 5 minutes. Since then I’ve been improving it (daily challenge archive, cleaner UI, better stats), and I’d love more feedback from the HN crowd. In particular, I’m interested in thoughts on the gameplay flow, design/UX, and what would make it more engaging.

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
