Hey all!

I've been making my little word puzzles for years now and have finally gotten them on an alpha web app (very much best viewed on desktop right now)

Effectively, they're miniature crosswords, but after you solve the grid, you take all the letters in the grid and rearrange them to solve a final word or phrase (second button on bottom).

It's a little rough at the moment, but steadily being worked on and would love more feedback if anyone wants to give it a try. I post a new puzzle Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

Fun, thanks for sharing and good luck

This was cool. Thanks for sharing!

I'd suggest a share button so that people can share and compare their scores, like Wordle and other word games.

!dailygames@lemmy.zip is also a good place to share your word game.

Thanks!

And yes, social sharing is definitely on the map for when mobile is working better and there are a few more quality of life changes for word entry. I'll check out the daily games and post a few there, thanks for the suggestion!

Another suggestion I have is some sort of splash screen explaining the game – much like Wordle, Connections and the rest.
