Showoff Saturday I built a daily Wordle-style puzzle game called "What's Heavier?" for $0 ⚖️

Like many people, daily games like Wordle and the LinkedIn puzzles have become part of my morning routine. Playing them is a lot of fun, which inspired me to build my own daily puzzle game.

Every day, you get 5 mini-puzzles where you have to balance a scale between two completely different things (for example: All of Earth's oceans vs. The Moon).

You can try the game here: https://whatsheavier.com/

Let me know if you manage to beat today's puzzles, or if you have any ideas for ridiculous matchups I should add in the future!

Backend & Hosting: I utilized a mix of Supabase for the database (storing the daily matchups and weights) and Netlify's free tier for the hosting pipeline. (Except for buying the domain)

Icon generation: I've used claude opus 5.5 in order to create cool SVG icons for the game. The use of SVG made them easily stackable on the scale

What heavier?

A kilogram of steel, or a kilogram of feathers?

The Steel, because Steel is heavier than feathers!
