Hi!

I just launched Explainle (https://explainle.org), my latest word game. Every day, you have to explain 5 words without using forbidden words. An LLM tries to guess which word you are referring to. The fewer attempts you need, the more points you score!

This is the first game I've built with Claude Code, which I have found to be very powerful indeed. Also my first game to use LLMs as part of the game - quite intrigued to see how it will scale haha. The frontend is built using Vue.js, the backend is pocketbase.

Here is my score for the day:

Explainle #24 Total Points: 5000 (Top Score)

Word 1: (1000pt) Word 2: (1000pt) Word 3: (1000pt) Word 4: (1000pt) Word 5: (1000pt)

Would love any feedback!
