alt Hacker NewsI'm still having a lot of fun releasing daily puzzles for my game Tiled Words: https://tiledwords.com
It just won an award! It was awarded Players' Choice out of 700 daily web games at the Playlin awards: https://playlin.io/news/announcing-the-2025-playlin-awards-w...
Right now around 3,500 people play every day which kind of blows my mind!
It's free, web-based, and responsive. It was inspired by board games and crosswords.
I've been troubleshooting some iOS performance issues, working on user accounts, and getting ready to launch player-submitted puzzles. It's slow going though because I have limited free time and making the puzzles is time consuming!

How did you go from 0 users to 3,500? Genuinely curious how people get their games off the ground.
I don't play every day, but I've been a big fan of Tiled and showed it to a number of other folks.
Thank you so much for keeping it going!
