Post Description

The best part about coding agents is I get to indulge in making games again. They are so good at basic html / js games that I'm surprised we don't see another flash-game-like renaissance

Reword was originally built as a way for me to learn to beat my friends in the game Anagrams (itself a variant of Bananagrams). The goal is simple -- given a root word and a few additional letters, try and find a workable anagram.

Some elements are inspired heavily from wordle, including the once-per-day randomization and the share emoji.

Would love feedback!

Letter Flow a Word Game with Liquid Glass Design

The killer detail here is the liquid-droplet UI and the one-tap AI level generator running on-device — small touches that make a familiar word game feel tactile and modern. It's not reinventing the category, though; reported glitches (missing letters/misspellings) and a tiny rating base keep this from feeling like a must-share hit.

Spelling Riddle – Think Spellbee with crossword clue and visual hint

Every word pairs a crossword-style text clue with an image hint generated and linted by an LLM/image pipeline — that's a clever UX twist that forces semantic reasoning instead of guesswork. The creator also built a nontrivial quality pipeline (Swiss-style LLM matches + Wilson lower-bound scoring) to pick good puzzle words, which is an uncommon level of rigor for a hobby game. UI shows thoughtful interactions (hint taps reveal/remove letters, center-letter rule, PWA install), though clarity around image provenance and accessibility could be tighter.

ChangeWord, transformative word game in 6 languages

Nice, focused twist on the classic word-ladder: you can both replace and insert letters and every intermediate step must be a real word, which makes puzzles feel tighter than a random jumble. The big selling point is multilingual support — English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch and Swedish — with separate progress per language, which actually gives it genuine replay value. It’s not reinventing the genre, but the rules, daily stages and hint/score system show a clear game design sensibility.
