Show HN: Yet another daily word game – wotd

3 szidev 2 8/30/2025, 7:21:00 PM wotd.is ↗

Howdy HN. I wanted an excuse to do some lightweight JS/TS development and to get reacquainted with the Cloudflare stack, so I put together a daily word game. It's partially inspired by NYT's Spelling Bee and Wordle. The main goal is to find a specific word each day that uses each provided letter at least once. There's a secondary goal of finding as many words as possible. Right now progress is all stored on-device, but in the future I might add leaderboards or other competitive elements. Hope y'all enjoy!

"SO" is not a valid word, but I don't see anything in the instructions saying words must be at least three letters.

Edit: Perhaps you could add a toggle for the list of words, to switch between the order they were found in, and alphabetical order? This would be particularly useful when there's an S in play, to find words that could be made plural.

Great callout. I forgot to update the help modal when I put in that 3 letter minimum. Sorting is a great idea, too. Thanks for the feedback!

Edit: Both things added in. I appreciate ya!
