I love word games. My day starts with Wordle and Spelling Bee. I have been looking for something to work on with AI. I have watched the videos and read the articles and used Claude to help figure out issues with another app I'm working on. I came up with Letter Lockbox [https://www.letterlockbox.com]. It started as something fun to play around with but friends and family love it so I have been adding on to it as I go. I added a Postgres database and Clerk for user management so users can save their results. I added streaks, stats, and sharing. I built out my own admin area to allow easier adding of puzzles and analytics on game play. I'm really proud of it.
Great iteration on the -dle format.
Bug: My word happened to be "will". When I typed "w", "i", "l", "l", the input area showed "wi". Since the second "l" was interpreted as a backspace operation.
General feedback, I would find a way to squeeze in variable hints. Maybe part of the definition, homophones, antonyms, 'rhymes with', etc.
And definitely find a way to get it on Northernlions playthrough. He does a dozen of these like every day.
