Nine Letter Word – Daily Puzzle

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.

In plain words

Nine Letter Word – Daily Puzzle is a word-guessing game where players solve one nine-letter word per day. Inspired by newspaper block puzzles and Wordle, it offers a quicker puzzle experience than traditional word games. The game is designed for casual players and families looking for a brief daily challenge. Each puzzle can be completed in a short session, making it suitable for anyone seeking a straightforward word puzzle without lengthy commitment.

    Whittle 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!
