Built a daily word game in two dimensions, with a 5x5 wordsquare to uncover using valid word guesses.

https://squareword.org

It's been such a joy to work on it and add features and improvements. No way of making money, but seeing the game evolve and getting positive feedback from players has made it worth it already. :) I love small projects like that where there are no expectations or real targets, just the pure fun of creating.

This is so awesome! thank you! It's a lot more challenging and fun than Wordle.

really enjoyable, clever take and I like that you have a target goal set.
