Not my site but the popular 18 words game posted here a while back has released a 9 words version I much prefer!

Nice idea. How are you selecting the headlines to use?

Fun! I like how the puzzle naturally gets easier as you solve it. How do you decide which words to include?

Nice twist on boggle. Needs dark mode for me or will start to strain the eyes.

Actually on a second look the wordlist has 279,498 words. I think it was only partially loaded when I first checked. That bumps the math to log₂(279,498) ≈ 18.1, so 19 guesses in the worst case and about 18 on average with perfect play

Interesting. The word list / dictionary provided by the site only had around 170k lines so it must not be a complete version. I would guess they have excluded some obscure words. I can't see anywhere in the information which dicti

Some interesting math here. You’ve got ~170k possible words and a pure higher/lower signal, so with perfect play it’s just binary search. Number the words 1 to 170k, guess the middle, then keep halving the range. In binary terms, each

Good point, thank you - I'll have a think about how to make it less annoying. Re: the timer, whoops! I'll fix that asap. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to give me feedback :)

As a crossword lover, I’ve toyed with the idea of making a digital-first word game that combines clues to find hidden answers with linked letters. This take allows for other features not present in traditional crosswords to be introduced, f

Love it! I would like the possibility to keep trying when I fail.

I used to love magic squares when I was a (nerdy) kid so I’ve now built a little fun game around them. Enjoy!

I have a (malfunctioning) beep but it doesn't work on mobile right now, I have to look into it. If you tried on desktop and it didn't work for you could you share what browser you used?

Thanks for letting me know (and so happy that you'll be back)! I'll do more responsiveness fixes tomorrow as I based my media queries based on responsive testing in the chrome console and it definitely needs some work

Thanks! I had a couple of things implemented to avoid this but they haven't worked in mobile (in desktop it behaves as expected AFAIK, not turning off the screen while in the routine). Do you mind sharing your OS and browser?

Yep I definitely need to work on that transition (I'm the type of person that spaces out easily and would lose track of whether I'm in a break or exercise). I'll play around with a couple of ideas and hopefully resolve it tom

I'd like the main focus of the app to continue to be the daily routine as I think it's a nice nudge to a create a simple habit with great health benefits. Having said that, I have a couple of routines lined up that target specific
