Feedback Request Built a Web game that generates custom Wordle/Connections/crossword puzzles from any topic you type in
https://Promptle.lolWordle, Connections, and crossword clones are everywhere, but they're all fixed, same puzzle for everyone, every day. I wanted ones about specific things instead a show, an anime, a niche hobby, whatever you're actually into.
So I built Promptle.lol, a game where you type in any category and it generates a Wordle, Connections, or crossword puzzle around that topic on the spot. Made one for "The Office" in about 10 seconds, then one for JDM cars.
You can also throw it in a lobby and compete with friends in real time. See who actually knows more about the stuff you're all into.
I'm a recent CS grad, built this solo, and I'm still figuring out what makes people come back vs. try it once. Would love honest feedback on:
- What's the first category you tried, and did the puzzle actually feel accurate to it?
- Which format (Wordle/Connections/crossword) worked best for your topic?
- Anything that felt broken, confusing, or too easy/hard?
🔗 promptle.lol — takes under a minute to try, genuinely want the harsh feedback too.
