Show HN: 18 Words

I like the time based ness. 30 seconds is plenty of time and one run a day is a nice change of pace from never ending feeds.

Good job, I got 15/18

Damn fun and challenging

Congrats! This looks like a daily one for me

When I didn't know the word I just mashed the given letters on the keyboard randomly, sometimes I got lucky with it

nice game to start my day. a refresh button to reorder the letter would be great.

Could I have the source code so I can plug in the Polish word list? It would make a great training app for Scrabble.

Pretty cool idea. I think a calendar based UI to go through the archives would be more user friendly than what you have right now.

iPhone bug: double tapping on a letter zooms in the viewport with no way to zoom back out, permanently breaking the page.

one thing I noticed playing this:

way easier with fingers on the keyboard (vs selecting characters with mouse)

just typing out seemingly possible words per muscle memory / subconscious impulse

That was really fun. Made it to 16/18. Thank you popmpomsheep.

Fun! But disappointing if you lose early. Maybe let the player continue after failing and showing a final score out of 18.

Made it to 9 and then time ran out... I wish it showed me the word that I got stuck on! Argh!!!

Nicely done. A shuffle letters button would be nice.

This is fun! Could use a short "how it works" blurb on the landing page though :)

This could be a cool captcha challenge (without the timer).

Fun, that's it. New addiction after daily wordle unlocked

Embarrassed of where I failed (#8). Very cool game though!

great game, what do you think of adding shuffle?

I played three games, and every time the third word for me was difficult. I bet I am not alone. Not sure it's a game I want to return to just for two first words.

Nice, this is pretty fun!

what made you go with 18?

Great game, well done

Ha fun little game :)

wow, addictive

Damn got to 13.

For some reason it made me think of this right away: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words

timer removed should be better

This is a lot of fun lol. Well done!

Fun game!

I got stuck on the word corner of all words. Ugh

LAMER is a real word and COLOR is not.

"Baith" ? That's a pretty niche word I'd say.

I lost on the third word because I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was, and then I restarted and got to the 18th. I'd look at the letters and just know which word it was, it was pretty odd how hard I found it the first time around versus how easy it was the second.

I'm normally terrible at anagrams.

holy shit this is hard

[dead]

4/18

Enjoying time-based games must be some prey animal adaptation, y'all are probably vegan and have negative canthal tilt.
