Show HN: Wordminos – Crosswords Meet Dominos

15 points • by dyarosla • today at 12:56 PM • 7 comments • view on HN

I built a daily word game in 12 days.

The base mechanic only took an hour. Getting it to the finish line took the rest.

The work was in iteration: design, polish, juice, character. Taste, for now, is still relevant.

Enjoy!

Wowza... I am so bad at this. lol

One thing I would say is that when there is a "done" or a "next" button, it took me a sec to see it as a button because the actual button color was too close to white on my monitor. So I thought it was a click anywhere kinda "done".
