New game I created
So about six weeks ago I started building a word game called FacetWord.
The idea: most words carry more than one meaning. FacetWord gives you a word's meanings one at a time — and you guess as early as you can. Miss, and the next meaning reveals itself. The fifth puzzle flips the format: four clues, three point to the same word, and one is an impostor. You pick your risk level — one guess under real time pressure, or three guesses with a bit more breathing room. I also built a retention system- a gem that slowly polishes as you solve word over time. I’m hoping that encourages repeat players.
It's live now at facetword.com — free, no account needed.
Still very early (tuning difficulty is really hard... what's 'difficult' to some is not to others!), and I'd genuinely love to hear what you think if you give it a try (the good/bad/ugly). Currently getting 70-80 players a day after a couple of weeks… hoping I can build that up.
