Show HN: Let The Letter Drop (Daily word game for web and mobile)
Let The Letter Drop is a mix of crosswords, Connect4, Tetris, and a little bit of Wordle's daily-ness. Select letters from your tray and drop them on a board to build words and score points. Multi-letter pieces can be rotated. Use special pieces like bombs and bumpers to move the letters on your board around.
Every day, everyone gets a fixed bag of letters and a set of words to make. Make all 3 and keep going for points. The daily mode is the default, but if you'd like, you can switch to the "freeplay" mode anytime.
This is my first game and it was fun getting to follow through on an idea so quickly. I used microstudio (https://microstudio.dev/ https://microstudio.dev/) and its Lua-like language for writing it. I have mostly positive things to say about it. It definitely made it easy getting something from my head to the screen. The accessibility is lousy to non-existent, unfortunately, but I have ideas to improve it, and maybe that can turn into a microstudio extension. We'll see.
