    Ahh very true! I have a ChatGPT fallback of more "modern" words for answers my dataset did not include. I should also include those in the top 3 😅. I forgot those things could show up with actual people's answers and now being able to compare to the top. You have a keen eye!

    Those more modern answers are stored separately and are generated ahead of time by asking ChatGPT to list the top 25 for a given adjective. I should probably just include those into the main dataset for future use anyway.

    I will fix that with my next update. Thanks for the bug report.

    Hi, I just updated the game to include the guest -> account conversion flow. At the moment it still only supports google/discord. Username/password with a guest migration will take a bit more work. (Mostly from a UI perspective). You'll get a reminder after completing game or you can use the 'claim account' button hidden in the menu in the top right (the user menu).

    Hopefully Google or Discord will work for you if thats acceptable. It took a fair amount of work on the backend to get it all right with ensuring no data was lost and merging data if someone already had an existing account. I tried to find/test/fix all the unhappy paths (like cancelling in the middle) so it should be good to go...

    The leaderboard has been there. Not sure if you have a regular account, but there is a whole friend system so you can see how your friends stack up on the leaderboard too. And their scores in a timeline etc.

    Still working on the guest -> regular account migration flow to keep progress. I'll add support for regular username/pwd as well early next week.

    I removed the top 10 overlay for previous days as it was a bit hidden and buggy. You can view the top 3 in a similar manner for previous days.

    Just updated it now. Now you can see the top 3 of each adjective. You can use the bulk toggle at the bottom by the scores or tap each row after the game is completed. Hopefully that helps!

    Regarding your comment about good/bad thing about getting a low score. Obviously the main gameplay loop is to guess the most common nouns. In its current state, you could guess bogus answers 3 times (with the retry logic) to get 0pts on each adjective.

    That said, it would be interesting to have a spinoff or another mode where you need to guess a real answer in the dataset with the lowest frequency.

    There's a multiplayer version coming that will be more family feud style, so there you can let your creativity shine by racking up a bunch of nouns that other players have not guessed yet. Still toying with making it teams vs teams, fully cooperative, or free for all.

    Thanks for trying! I am working on showing the top 3 answers for each word after you complete the game. You'll be able to toggle a small "drawer" by tapping on each row or all at once with a toggle near the bottom.

    Point taken about cheating. Cheaters gonna cheat.

    Funny enough I have an admin only feature to trigger ChatGPT to play a round. It acts like a regular user so you can add it as a friend etc. I find it amusing and like seeing it but I know some people are very AI averse so I haven't added it for everyone to see. I've excluded it from the averages as well.

    Trying to balance the convenience and not disrupting the core gameplay loop.

    Thanks for checking it out! Really glad you liked it. You'll need to create an account to set your name. Then you can also add friends via their friend code and see them on the leaderboard each day.

    When you first started, you probably clicked 'Continue as Guest' so you don't have a "regular" account. The "guest" account was mostly made as an easy way to get started and try it out without giving email. If you think you'll play on a regular basis, the best experience is with an account. (Keeping track of streak, adding friends, cross browser progress)

    I am currently working on a guest -> account conversion flow so you don't lose your progress and that will allow cross device play/progress rather than being tied to a single browser instance.

    Out of curiosity, is creating an account a deal breaker for you?

    Right now, the only sign up options are Google/Discord. I also have username/pwd but that's a bit clunkier for the daily game flow with needing to confirm email etc. This is also a shared account system with my main site gametje.com which has a vastly different style at the moment. I need to revamp a bit of the styling for emails/sign up pages in this context.

    Are there other "social logins" you would prefer? Was looking into adding Sign in with apple and Meta.

    Thanks again for trying it and for the feedback!

    Sorry for the double reply. Wanted to ask about the iOS PWA since you managed to install it.

    Did you know how to do that on your own? Or did you see the help in my blog post?

    I find it to be SOOO many steps to install it on iOS. It is quite hidden in the "Share" section which doesn't make much sense. I figured not that many people would know how to do it. I knew it was possible and was still confused when I figured it out the first time.

    I was considering making an app wrapper specifically for the App Store just to help with discoverability and ease of installation. Is that something you'd use?

    Hey thanks for trying it! The top 10 answers for each word are revealed on previous days (appears as an icon on the left side of each word). I still need to include that in the tutorial or a tooltip. I didn't want to show them on the current day to prevent cheating with a 2nd account or throwaway guest (some people are serious about competing!). So if you visit the site again, you can change the date at the top to yesterday and before and review your game(s) and see the top answers. You can also play previous days if you missed them.

    That's a great idea about showing the most guessed answers. Did you mean the most incorrect (score of 0?) or just most guessed in general? Would you want to see that immediately for that day? Or only previous days? Obviously there is a bit of lag time before there is a good amount of completed games to pull from given it starts fresh each day.

    I only just released it the other day, so still building the player base and making adjustments.

    There's a multiplayer version in the works as well. Still deciding on the initial mode. Whether it is free for all or team vs team, or entirely co-op with racing a clock.

    It doesn't match your "puzzle" criteria perfectly but I recently released my first daily game called "Noun Sense", you can try it here: https://daily.gametje.com. (It's free). You can play as a guest or create an account to keep track of progress/add friends/review the leaderboard etc.

    The gist is you get 10 adjectives a day and you try to guess the most frequently used noun that follows that adjective. The more frequent the usage, the higher the score. Best possible score is 1000 pts a day.

    I have a detailed blog post about it here that explains a bit more about how I built it: https://blog.gametje.com/posts/2026-02-23/

    Looks like you fixed the "more" modal. Is there a minimum date? Like the date of the first puzzle? Right now I can navigate back to Jan 1st with the date modal but I think there is no puzzle? Jan 2nd also doesn't work (they all day the word is "play"). For date inputs, you can set a min and max date which should fix this issue (for most browsers).

    You can also have a backup for "no puzzle found" for a specific date.

    Edit: I think the hint modal has a similar closing issue as well.

    Maybe add a debounce or something. Seems to be loading so fast it's also getting clicked!

    Thanks for the follow-up post. Looks great. The archive modal and the "more" modal don't seem to stay open for me. I had to press and hold which then selects text and then it stays open. If I just tap, it opens and closes immediately. The leaderboard and stats page don't have the same issue.

    Very curious to hear what you used to create this (if you don't mind sharing). Looks very slick.

    Cool game. Fun but i found the tap radius a bit small for the circles. I'm curious what you used for the share image (some javascript library?). It works well. I have a similar use case for it in one of my games.

    The generate video button kept crashing and I never got that to work. It also took 3-4 tries to even get it to click and show "generating video". But then it crashed the browser (Chrome, Android 16). Also curious how that should work 🙂

    Edit: tried the video again and waited without tapping again and it worked.
