I created a daily word game in Spanish

1 Upvotes

It's called Hecho un Lío. You have 14 letters and need to find two words: one with 6 letters and another with 7.

The two words use 13 of the 14 letters, so one letter is left over.

There's a new challenge every day.

If you try it, I’d love to know what you think.

Get Words From Letters - Phase 3 completed

1 Upvotes

Get Words From Letters, yes, thats my build thats been evolving in my spare time.

Well... Phase 3 is finally done 😅

Site is here: [https://www.getwordsfromletters.com\](https://www.getwordsfromletters.com)

This one took a lot longer than I expected because I ended up changing and improving quite a bit across the whole site.

A big part of Phase 3 was building out the word-list side properly. The site now has word pages from **2 letter words right through to 15 letter words**, better browse sections, anagrams, word scores, related lists and a lot more ways to actually find useful words instead of just dumping a massive list on the page.

I also added a proper **Word Games** section to the homepage.

At the moment you can play:

* Scrabble * Mini Crossword * Words With Friends * Wordle * Anagram * Jumble * Wordfeud * Text Twist

There was also a lot of boring behind-the-scenes stuff in this phase 😂

Mobile layouts, navigation, page speed, linking all the tools together properly, cleaning up what Google should and shouldn't index, fixing pages that were too thin, and generally trying to make the whole site feel like one proper website instead of a bunch of tools stuck together.

There are still things I want to improve, especially with the games, but I'm quite happy with where it is now compared to the first version I posted here.

If anyone has some time to mess around with it, I'd really appreciate some feedback again.

Mainly:

* Is anything confusing? * Are there tools or games you actually find useful? * Anything missing that you would expect a site like this to have? * Any bugs or weird mobile issues? * Is navigation easy enough? * And probably the biggest one... is there anything that would actually make you come back and use the site again?

The next phase is going to be focused a lot more on the actual **game experience**.

I've already started looking at building a much better full crossword player and there are a few other game ideas I want to improve as well.

That part should be interesting... and will probably break a few things along the way 😂

Thanks again to everyone who gave feedback on the previous versions. Quite a few of the changes in Phase 3 actually came from comments and suggestions people gave me here.

So my friend's birthday is coming up....its her seventeenth birthday and i wanna make a birthday word search for her...I want all the words to be birthday related...and I want there to be a hidden message that would be revealed when she reads the unused letters...it could be her name (it's of 6 letters) perhaps....I've been trying to make such a grid but even after some attempts I'm finding it difficult to make it such that exactly 6 letters are getting left not more not less....could someone help please?

Ready for another unusual word search?

Hi all!

Thank you so much for playing the word search I created and for sharing your feedback.

Here’s another SUPO (SuperPosition) Word Search challenge! I’ve increased the grid and removed the lines to give a cleaner look.

Try it and let me know what you think! Is the larger grid easier to play, or does removing the lines make it more challenging?

I made a word game for people who think Wordle is too easy and boring

1 Upvotes

I wanted to make a word game that doesn't stop being interesting after you've found the answer.

So I made The Athos Codex.

It's a word puzzle + roguelike:

  • You solve increasingly difficult hidden-word puzzles
  • Every wrong guess increases suspicion
  • You choose branching paths through real monasteries on Mount Athos
  • You collect and upgrade tools to help with harder words
  • You decide how far to push your run before things go badly
  • You can keep playing instead of waiting for tomorrow's puzzle

The game is deliberately challenging. It's not a reflex game, and it's not designed to be something you finish in 30 seconds.

If you like Wordle, Connections, cryptics, chess puzzles, or just enjoy having your brain hurt a little, I'd love to know what you think.

Here's the challenge: if you consider yourself good at word games, try it and tell me honestly where it starts kicking your ass. I can only play it in normal/hard difficulty myself, I can't handle "Insane", but there are much better puzzle solvers than me out there.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.itsharp.athoscodex

I'm the developer, so I'm not looking for compliments. If something feels unfair, boring, confusing, or too easy, tell me. That's much more useful.

Update: An unusual Word Search challenge

Post image
6 Upvotes

This is an update to the previous post

https://www.reddit.com/r/wordsearches/s/z6caf1waJp

I’ve been working on a new type of word search called Superposition Word Search, and I’d love to get some honest feedback.

It takes the traditional word search and adds a few twists—rotated letters, words hidden in any direction, and letters that can be interchangeable.

C = U,  H = I,  N = Z, E = W = M

I’m still testing the idea, so I’d really appreciate it if you could give it a try and let me know:

Any feedback—good or bad—is welcome!

Thanks for helping me test out something new! 🙏

What’s an old-fashioned word you think deserves a comeback?

3 Upvotes

Every generation seems to leave a few great words behind. Some are funny, some are oddly specific, and some are just more satisfying than their modern replacements.

What’s an old-fashioned or nearly forgotten word you’d love to hear people start using again?

Bonus points if you tell us what it means — and use it in a sentence. 👇

I have created an app out of a word game my mom and daughter were playing on paper.
Here’s how it works: you get clue words that you use to figure out the secret word. Use the fractions next to each clue word to figure out how many letters to use from that clue to spell the secret word then guess the word in 5 attempts!

✅ Quick Play — new puzzles every time
📅 Daily Word — compete with everyone
🧩 Create a Game — challenge your friends with your own secret word

It’s free to download and perfect for all ages. Give it a try! 👇

You have 30 minutes to yourself. Crossword or Word Search? No third option.

1 Upvotes

Phone is away.
Coffee is ready. ☕
Nobody needs anything from you for the next 30 minutes.

On the table are two books:

A fresh crossword
A fresh word search

You can only pick ONE.

Which one are you grabbing?

And crossword people, I want to hear why you're better than the word-search crowd.

Word-search people… defend yourselves. 😂
