Wordsweeper – A word guessing game based on levenshtein distance
Hey HN, I’ve been trying to spend more time working on small fun projects and wanted to share with you a fun word guessing game I made inspired by Wordle and Minesweeper. Here’s how it works: You guess a 5 letter word, and get back a score representing the “distance” between your guess and the correct word. The lower the score, the closer you are to the correct word. The score is calculated by taking the sum of the distance between the letters of your guess and the correct word, multiplied by the levenshtein distance between the guess and the correct word. Scores for each guess are tallied…

The score is calculated by taking the sum of the distance between the letters of your guess and the correct word, multiplied by the levenshtein distance between the guess and the correct word. Scores for each guess are tallied into a final total. Try to win the game by guessing the correct word with the lowest score. It’s also a PWA so it’s installable for on the go playing I hope you enjoy it!

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
