Hey All,

My wife loves word games like Wordle and Connections, she had an idea for a similar game inspired by Hangman and asked me to build it.

Here it is, flaws and all. Any feedback is very welcome.

The game is cool, but I don't really like waiting a day to play again.

And I also think it needs levels of difficulty, or if you want a unique online mode where you can guess words with different players and the first one to guess wins (but it's not easy to do).

Overall, the game is cool, good luck with the development!

Thanks for the feedback, I like the idea of the multiplayer mode

Great job

I enjoyed this and sent it to two non tech friends. First time in forever that I’ve seen something from hacker news to a none techie.
