Hi HN - I'm excited (and a bit nervous!) to share a game I built called Gridagram.<p>My wife is a huge word game nerd (Wordle, Spelling Bee, you name it!), and I wanted to create something fun for us to play daily that combined a couple of mechanics we enjoy: finding words in a grid and solving anagrams. It started as a personal project but evolved into something I thought others might enjoy too.<p>You're presented with a 4x4 grid of letters.
Find words by connecting adjacent letters (like Boggle).<p>Finding words scores points and contributes to revealing letters in a hidden "Mystery Word" (an anagram of 8-10 letters).<p>The more words you find, and the faster you find them (streaks!), the more points you get. Longer words give bonus points.<p>Score milestones help reveal and eventually order the Mystery Word letters.<p>Once you think you know the Mystery Word, you can try to solve it for a final bonus score.<p>There's a new puzzle generated each day.<p>I built this using React, TypeScript, Vite for the frontend, and Firebase Hosting for deployment. The grid generation and dictionary logic are handled client-side.<p>This is still very much a work in progress, and I'd absolutely love to hear any feedback you have – gameplay balance, UI suggestions, bugs, anything!<p>You can play it here: <a href="https://playgridagram.com/" rel="nofollow">https://playgridagram.com/</a>
