Yo HN, happy Sunday! A friend reached out to my partner and I with a fun idea for a game. Over the next two weekends we prototyped and polished. It’s a wordle-style guessing game but each time you guess, the mystery word is edited by one letter. Most puzzles can be solved in 3 guesses and almost all can be solve in 4 because the edit gives away a lot of information. It was really fun to hack together a tiny thing and we're excited to show it off. Technically, it’s a next.js app deployed on vercel. All the stats and turn data are stored in local storage in your browser, no centralized database or high score mechanism at this time. We only calculate daily stats and wipe all the data daily so as not to encourage grinding. If you get stuck, there’s a cheat code but you’ll have to find it :). Thanks for checking it out, hope you think it’s as fun as we (and our moms) do. Questions and feedback very much welcome. Free upvote for the first person to complain it only works with js enabled. Best, @rgbrgb, @ralusek, @eberyvody

    Do I get an extra upvote if I point out (slightly more seriously) that you use CSS Colors Level 4 for rules like: .bg-green { background-color: rgb(194 225 173/var(--tw-bg-opacity)) !important; } which seems a little over-complicated (and under-supported[0]) just for setting a green background. Not a big deal, though, as I really enjoyed the game, and appreciate you making it available to people for free. Thank you!

      Autogenerated by tailwind css. It was my first time using the library after using tachyons a lot in the past. Overall pretty nice and cool that it only includes rules that you use, but I do miss just being able to look at tachyons.css to find a rule rather than searching tailwind’s docs, which are way more verbose and in like 1k different pages. Also overjoyed you liked the game ::)
