proy87··on Show HN: Jointter – A daily word puzzle using dots and lines
Got it, thank you!

You can submit any guess you want. Unused green dots are just moved aside, and if there are not enough dots, red ones appear.

Hello.

There are several words hidden on the same board.

So you can find one and your friend another.

May I know why you need it?

The positions of dots tell nothing about the word.

Is there any reason?

Hello. Is "Watch a tutorial" not helpful? Please tell how to improve it.

Regarding the second question. I've developed an algorithm, that traverses a dictionary of English words and makes sure that only certain set of words (2 or more) fits the given dots and lines. It is possible to find conditions under which only one word is possible, or words of different lengths.

The additional filter is added. But is really "show word" button needed? You can just use 5 tries and the word will be shown. I'm not sure everybody likes this idea.

Do you find 4+ letter words hard to find?

I think that if the dots are on their places, you can "read" the word immediately.

Possibly, a video tutorial would be better? Check it out.

Thank you. They are removed.

Sorry, I didn't understand.

Do you need another filter?

Hello.

The button is added.

proy87··on Show HN: OutClocked, a nearly impossible daily trivia game
The website is down.
proy87··on Show HN: Sufuku – Sudoku, but Numbers Repeat
The game is good, but it is quite hard. And I'm not sure how many "strategies" can be used. It feels like less than in Sudoku.
proy87··on Show HN: TypetoDefuse, a typing puzzle game where every solved module buys time
Pretty good, but the task that involves typing letters is difficult to play on a mobile device.
proy87··on Show HN: Approximatr: The daily game of spatial intuition
I’ve played it — I really enjoyed it! It’s easy to get the hang of. I have a question, though: there aren’t that many types of puzzles (angles, lengths, areas, midpoints of line segments). Aren’t you worried that you might run out of ideas? Or do you have a way of coming up with something new?
