Hey HN,

I recently learnt about Halo 2 and PLONK zero-knowledge circuit design and built a Wordle clone that creates ZK proofs of the grid you share afterwards. This was mostly a fun intro project for me and I wrote up my notes introducing Halo 2 and my circuit design in specific in the README that would be interesting to folks here!

This is great! Do you have any sense for how long the proof generation times are on various devices? On my phone I'm clocking 8 minutes already but still working.

Pretty cool. Nice work. There's lots of money in the Zcash dev fund (almost $8 million, currently). https://grants.zfnd.org/ Perhaps you might try to build something else and apply for a grant. (I saw zooko retweet you).

Nice idea, and it's visible that you put lots of effort into this!

I tried it on the website, but unfortunately when generating a proof, after about a minute my mobile browser crashes. I guess it's an OOM kill?

Very cool! Such a clean implementation
