A word game with a small gameplay loop. Plays best on your phone.
It uses random words from the Wordnik word game list, as shared on their Github page, which has a lot of stuff on there I myself wouldn't really consider a word. Sorry about that.
- Main Game: Available at the root path
/ - Birds Version: Available at
/birds- find bird names with images!
- Use every letter on the donut to spell a word.
- Letters in the word must be adjacent to each other on the donut.
- You can go clockwise or counterclockwise.
- When you find a word. The next word to find appears.
- Go fast. Go slow. Enjoy.
This revisits the gameplay from a 2002 Observable notebook I made called "find a (big) word, rings".
