loopyLetters
[WIP] Loopy Letters, another little word game A word game with a small gameplay loop. Plays best on your phone. It uses random words from the Wordnik word game list, as shared on their Github page ,
which has a lot of stuff on there I myself wouldn't really consider a word. Sorry about that. I probably spent as much time prompting the Townie LLM interface as I did in the code editor.
So if parts seem sloppy, it's because it is slop. Rules Use every letter on the donut to spell a word. Letters in the word must be adjacent to each other on the donut. You can go clockwise or counterclockwise . When you find a word. The next word to find appears. Go fast. Go slow. Enjoy. This revisits the gameplay from a 2002 Observable notebook I made called
"find a (big) word, rings" .
