This is “Circuits,” a daily word puzzle game I made from scratch (mostly at my teaching job between classes lol).
It’s been interesting learning what people value in a game, what motivates players to return, what little things drive users bonkers, etc.
A huge thanks to anyone who gives it a go!

Neat! I’d play this. One issue is that it’s hard to submit on mobile UI, because the keyboard hides the submit button. A custom keyboard like Wordle might be good.
Keyboard is a bit weird on mobile. But I like this.
Will definitely play
Quick and fun. Finds a home among other quick word puzzles like Wordle and Connections. Well done!
Love it! ;P
Tried a few. Very enjoyable, and there always seems to be one word that makes me really think and I may end up using a bolt to get through. Good level of difficulty.
This is fun, you really got something here.
What a piece of shit
This is good fun, well done.
Will definitely play
Had a lot of fun with that.
Great game, I’ll add it to the “play before bed” games.
Dude, keep working on this, fix the keyboard issue, and in less than a year this could easily be optioned to the NYT. Well done!
What goes between tea and corn? I’m stumped. Never mind I realized I wasn’t using my bolts.
This is a very enjoyable game. I hope you find success with it.
Fun game. Quite a lot of “Americanisms” made it tricky for me; bell pepper, kettle corn, hop scotch. But I managed.
I sent this to my wife and her friends to try. Curious how many puzzles you have pre-made already?
A little constructive criticism:
Trailing spaces seem to mess it up. My mobile keyboard is adding em when I use auto complete. A simple trim will fix that up.
Going through the puzzle archives would be easier if it told me what # puzzle I’m solving. Perhaps a next/previous button to move between em.
Overall this is fun and I’m on my 10th puzzle already lol. So it’s a good game that just needs a little QOL upgrades.
This is great. Thanks for sharing.
One question, it says after completing the puzzle that you can go to the archives to play previous puzzles. How do you go about accessing this?
This is actually pretty awesome. It’s not often I find a word game that makes me think for a second. You might be on to something with this, and I really like the simplicity, too.
Played it, enjoyed it. Will put this in the rotation with the other daily word games 🥰
What tea and corn should give me?
