A word game with a small gameplay loop. Plays best on your phone.

This project has been refactored into a React/Hono app with two game variants:

• Main Game (/) - Use every letter on the donut to spell words
• Birds Version (/birds) - Spell bird names with images in the center

• Shared game logic between both variants
• Responsive design for mobile and desktop
• Timer and scoring system
• Modal instructions and game over screens
• Navigation between game variants

1. Use every letter on the donut to spell a word.
2. Letters in the word must be adjacent to each other on the donut.
3. You can go clockwise or counterclockwise.
4. When you find a word, the next word to find appears.
5. Go fast. Go slow. Enjoy.

This revisits the gameplay from a 2002 Observable notebook I made called "find a (big) word, rings".

• Main game uses random words from the Wordnik word game list
• Birds version uses Wikipedia's List of Birds By Common Name with images
