Link Words Puzzles

Solo dev experiment: word game made with AI

Link Words Puzzles launched on January 1, 2026 with 5 votes, #3,400 of 14,584 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Link Words is a word puzzle game built entirely with AI tools. You get 28 words. Find 7 groups of 4 words that share something in common. Simple rules, surprisingly tricky. What makes it unique: I built this as an experiment — could a solo dev ship a real game using only AI? Claude for Swift code, Midjourney for graphics, Suno for music. The answer: yes, but it still takes work. If you like NYT Connections, you'll enjoy this.

    This is a game I wrote over the last month and a bit. The effort allocation was pretty different from what I've done in the past. The game design snapped together very quickly: I had the initial idea, played a couple of games on a spreadsheet to get a feel for the idea, and made one change based on those plays. After that everything felt just right through multiple rounds of playtesting. Likewise the puzzle generation is nowhere near as elaborate as in my previous game, fairly simple methods worked well and provided good variety. Instead I ended up spending silly amounts of time on curating…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
