Show HN: Typosquat Detective: Browser game to practice lookalike domains

With the recent npm/Node.js supply-chain incident (phished maintainer, crypto-stealing code in 18 popular packages like chalk and debug) I thought it's a good moment to resurface a small side project:

Typosquat Detective : a 2-3 minute browser game to practice spotting typo squatted domains.

You will run into: • 1 ↔ l and 0 ↔ o swaps • Homoglyphs (Cyrillic/Greek that look Latin) • Punycode (xn--) tricks

Play it here: https://typo.himanshuanand.com/

I would love feedback scores and ideas for extra levels/brands.
