What it does

Wordfive is a totally new kind of word puzzle that's fresh but feels like the classics. Each Wordfive puzzle is a 5x5 grid of letters with five words in it. Five letters are removed, and those letters appear below the grid. Your job as the player is to figure out how to put the five letters back in the grid to make 5 five-letter words. Wordfive is free to download and play forever with a just a couple ads, or upgrade to premium for a one-time purchase for no ads and premium features.

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.

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it.
