I wrote a script which generates all possible solutions for a given puzzle.

I made the site a few years ago, but I've refined it and added some features over time. Hopefully it's worth another mention!

I run a similar service which is free and editable.

I made summle.net a while back, which is similar.

After I while I found that this type of game can be frustrating as you are not incrementally solving the puzzle - instead there are multiple dead ends before stumbling upon the solution.

I have a few which I haven't touched for years;

Site seems compromised?

To make the site work as an 'app' you just need it to conform to the PWA (Progressive Web App) guidelines, and handle the install prompt. There's a good guide here:

Today's puzzle was difficult I admit. It's tough to find a balance, I'm still working on it!

Can I ask which device you're using?

I think you meant to post in the thread about the emoji game?

Thanks for the feedback. Re: the scrolling issue - can I ask which device?

Thanks. The 'share results' grid is about as minimal as I can make it without it being devoid of information!

The reset upon completion is intentional, as there is (usually) more than one solution to be found. For the purposes of stats recording, only the first successful attempt is registered.

Thank you. I do actually have another mode planned!
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @11:31AM (#30556926)
I wanted to keep it to operators everyone would understand, though it would be interesting to use exponents!

I am only recording successful attempts, which for the regular puzzle is around 33% so far today. I might compile stats on solve time too.

Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @11:29AM (#30556889)
I'm still working on the difficulty levels. I think recognising factors of either the target number or nearby numbers is key.
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @10:47AM (#30556348)
Thanks, all feedback is most welcome. I tested it with only a small number of people.
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @10:29AM (#30556117)
You can click on numbers to remove them, so that you do not need to refresh the page.
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @10:26AM (#30556075)
The rules are on the info page - maybe not that obvious.
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @10:21AM (#30556008)
You won't like the extreme mode I have planned.
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @10:06AM (#30555832)
The undo function is in the works.. to clear all you can refresh the page (or click the logo). There is an effect when a tile is filled but perhaps it needs to be more dramatic.
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @09:59AM (#30555727)
There is a kids mode in the settings. Today's one is hard, I must admit (though it can be done in 3 steps) - they did well when I was testing the site!
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @09:54AM (#30555652)
Indeed. Everything old is new again. There should be 6 numbers - perhaps one is cut off. Are you on mobile?
Re:Show HN: I made a little math game named Summle on Friday March 04, 2022 @09:51AM (#30555595)
Thanks. The backspace is something I considered, but it would have to function more like an undo button. You can refresh the page (or click the logo) to clear all the cells.
