Show HN: 18 Words

When I didn't know the word I just mashed the given letters on the keyboard randomly, sometimes I got lucky with it

Damn fun and challenging

Congrats! This looks like a daily one for me

Could I have the source code so I can plug in the Polish word list? It would make a great training app for Scrabble.

Pretty cool idea. I think a calendar based UI to go through the archives would be more user friendly than what you have right now.

nice game to start my day. a refresh button to reorder the letter would be great.

Shuffle button needed.

iPhone bug: double tapping on a letter zooms in the viewport with no way to zoom back out, permanently breaking the page.

Fun! But disappointing if you lose early. Maybe let the player continue after failing and showing a final score out of 18.

Made it to 9 and then time ran out... I wish it showed me the word that I got stuck on! Argh!!!

That was really fun. Made it to 16/18. Thank you popmpomsheep.

one thing I noticed playing this:

way easier with fingers on the keyboard (vs selecting characters with mouse)

just typing out seemingly possible words per muscle memory / subconscious impulse

Great game.

This is fun! Could use a short "how it works" blurb on the landing page though :)

Nicely done. A shuffle letters button would be nice.

Non-native speaker here: really really hard, never make it past 13/18

This could be a cool captcha challenge (without the timer).

Fun, that's it. New addiction after daily wordle unlocked

Embarrassed of where I failed (#8). Very cool game though!

great game, what do you think of adding shuffle?

I played three games, and every time the third word for me was difficult. I bet I am not alone. Not sure it's a game I want to return to just for two first words.

Nice, this is pretty fun!

what made you go with 18?

Great game, well done

Ha fun little game :)

Damn got to 13.

wow, addictive

timer removed should be better

For some reason it made me think of this right away: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words

Fun game!

I got stuck on the word corner of all words. Ugh

LAMER is a real word and COLOR is not.

I lost on the third word because I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was, and then I restarted and got to the 18th. I'd look at the letters and just know which word it was, it was pretty odd how hard I found it the first time around versus how easy it was the second.

I'm normally terrible at anagrams.

"Baith" ? That's a pretty niche word I'd say.

This is a lot of fun lol. Well done!

holy shit this is hard

4/18

Enjoying time-based games must be some prey animal adaptation, y'all are probably vegan and have negative canthal tilt.
