I probably shouldn't be trying this so late at night, but that was a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!

The undo/redo buttons were very helpful, I was certain I had figured a test out but ended up being wrong. Being able to go back to the assumption I made early on instead of having to restart was much appreciated

Looks like I should have just read the help section... Sorry! I understand now how to actually play. I will reiterate though that, on mobile, regular play kept navigating me away from the page (reloading, moving back)

I'm not 100% familiar with the subject matter, so please take that in to consideration when reading my feedback!

It looked like I was able to connect two nodes to each other multiple times. I will admit I found this out accidentally as I was trying to connect to others and my input was misread (playing on mobile). I was thinking that would not be allowed, so was surprised when it was.

More generally, and likely a user specific issue, my phone either kept either refreshing the page or navigating back in my history while I was trying to set up the edges, making me lose all progress.

Regardless, I did have fun with the concept.

Ah, I see your point, maybe something like "each word must contain all of the letters in the row directly above it"
Re:Show HN: Match HN Comments to Posts on Saturday January 18, 2025 @01:40AM (#42746383)
I did real bad (48 flips), but that's to be expected at 1:40 in the morning. Any thoughts on having the top 8 cards be randomized posts and the bottom 8 being randomized comments? That lowers the challenge a bit, but I felt frustrated whenever I paired a post to a post or a comment to a comment
Re:Show HN: Periodic Table and Wordle = Elemendle on Saturday January 18, 2025 @01:17AM (#42746297)
Looks like I need to review my periodic table :/. But I still had fun (took me five guesses, since I wasn't making good use of the clues).

Quick question, would a binary search be a viable strategy? So starting in the middle and figuring out where to go with the various clues given?

I had fun playing. It took me 3:14 seconds to play, which, I think, is great!

I will note that I was a little confused at first since I must have read the rules too quickly. For some reason I was thinking that you only needed to include two of the starter letters.

Anyway, am I correct in saying that each word must contain all of the letters in the shorter word directly above it? I might be misunderstanding, but isn't that essentially the same thing as what you currently have: "each word should ... contain both the starter letters and the letters of the shorter word"

Re:Show HN: Quotes Game on Saturday January 18, 2025 @12:48AM (#42746181)
Just played a couple times and one thing in I noticed is that the button corresponding to my last selection was still highlighted when the next quote came up. At first it threw me off a bit, but i eventually realized what was going on.

Also, how does someone have a score of 170? The finished with zero mistakes but still only managed 100 points.

One thing I need to work on is the hook. I'm wondering if including 'Fibonacci' on the landing page and in all my attempts to share it is scaring people off.
Thanks for trying it out! Did you find the 'how to play' useful? Or were you able to get started without it?

Show HN: Knotilus–uncover hidden Fibonacci-like sequences

https://knotil.us/

Hi HN,I'm new to Hacker News, but a friend suggested this would be a great place to share my project and get some feedback.I’ve been working on Knotilus, a daily puzzle game where the challenge is to find three hidden Fibonacci-like sequences among a set of numbers. Each daily puzzle includes between four and ten possible sequences, and the goal is to identify the three solution sequences that...
