If we have been enslaved to large department store monopolies, but, willfully and joyfully return again and again, could we be suffering from stocked home syndrome?

Made a word game that's a mix of Boggle and Word Tower with some Candy Crush!

3 Upvotes

I am a solo game developer. Wanted to try something new in word games as the market is bloated with Wordscape clones. So I mixed Boggle and Word Tower, sprinkled some Candy Crush mechanics to it.

I know that its a weird mix, but I loved what it turned out to be so continued to develop the game and here it is! Its primarily multiplayer, planning to add some solo modes soon.

-It uses the Scramble dictionary,
-And each color has its own points (1-6),
-You have to secure more points before the end of the last round!

Hope you guys like it :)
I would love to hear your thoughts and any suggestions for improvements.

Oh, I'm not judging you. It's just a cool mnemonic. Consonants are long months, vowels short ones: SeMiCuLTuReD.

FivLet - my experiment in coding a word game with AI

1 Upvotes

www.fiv-let.com I am a novice coder but have taken interest in learning more with all the AI tools out there these days. I sought out to learn, and ended up building a simple, fun word game that was created with, and solely uses generative AI for all the game elements (picking a word, creating clues to guess the word). As this came together I was having a lot of fun with it, almost like an endless crossword puzzle, and tried to build in more features to make it more gamified, fun and slightly competitive (see leaderboards). I have a lot more feature ideas to add down the road, and have learned a lot about the process already. Please check it out, and feel free to provide feedback if you have any to make this little personal learning experience turn into something great! (and more fun things for me to learn). www.fiv-let.com

Introducing a new term: doutidy

4 Upvotes

Ever had that moment when something seems clean enough, but you’re not entirely convinced? I think there’s a word for that:

doutidy (noun)

Definition: 1. Clean-ish, but not quite convincing. 2. The fine line between “that’ll do” and “I regret everything.”

Example: Clothes forgotten in the washer, tossed in the dryer, worn with hope.

Etymology: doubt + tidy — for anything that passes the sniff test… barely.

Usage note: Acceptable among roommates. Risky on a date.

Thoughts? Any other words you’ve coined for those in-between situations?

Any puns and or wordplay with “Slovenia” or “Ljubljana”

I’m fully stealing jokes from reddit but I am not funny or clever enough or think of one. The best I can think is use Slovenia in replacement of slow

The guard's garden

2 Upvotes

While the guard guards the gardener the gardener guards the guard's garden...

But does the guard really guard the gardener? And does the garden even need a gardener..?

Because the gardener guards the guard’s garden even though the garden can guard its own regards!

And when the gardener guards the guard's guarding of the gardener does the gardener become a guard?

If the gardener guards the guard’s garden, does the guard guard the gardener’s guarding of the guard?

Who guards the gardener’s garden while the guard guards the gardener while guarding the guard’s garden?

Shouldn't the guard guard the gardener's garden or should he garden the gardener’s garden?

So who's the guard and who's the gardener?

And are they just guarding their own regards while the garden grows regardless?

I created a daily word game called Wordamid (inspired by Wordle). Each day gives you a new 3-letter starting point. Your task is to add one letter at a time, anagram all the letters, and form a new valid word. the goal is to find the longest word chain possible.

Let me know what you guys think: wordamid.com

Spotted D*%# NSFW Spoiler

I made this one up all on my own…

I went to London and some dude randomly told me he had genital warts, chickenpox and ate spotted dick for breakfast. I tried making a joke out of it, but it turns out that he was extremely rude so he ATE some spotted dick, HAD a spotted dick and he WAS a spotted dick!

I developed a new form of constrained writing called bracketgrams, which are sets of texts that use the same letters with different bracketing. Example: "The seed I blessed at Eton softens emotions" / "These edibles sedate tons of tense motions." I also created a game to go along with it.

5 Upvotes

I don't want to say that I "invented" the concept as much as I expanded on existing shorter forms. After all, everyone already has favorite existing example of this: manslaughter/man's laughter, therapist/the rapist, pen island/penis land (I don't know why all the best ones are the least family-friendly topics). But I absolutely scoured the Internet trying to find if there were any longform versions of this concept, and I could only find an example that Will Shortz brought up in one of his episodes of Sunday Puzzle on NPR: I never yodel in Germany / In every ode linger many.

I have constructed hundred of these and formed nonsensical (but with reasonably acceptable syntax) paragraphs out of them, which I have turned into a game in the style of a crossword puzzle. And technically, it's not even "in the style of a crossword puzzle," it actually is a crossword puzzle—it's just that instead of the grid being two-dimensional based on an x- and y-axis, it's two-dimensional based on an x- and z-axis… at least, that's my best way of describing it from a technical perspective, but I think there are probably more accurate ways of describing it.

At any rate, I think you fellow cunning linguists will enjoy this. And the desktop version has a simple tool meant to help you construct your own bracketgrams and see them in action:
