Inspired by Wordle - Six Words is a game that gives players 6 words to find every day. The players need to wrack their vocabulary to figure out what the words are as fast as possible. A daily leaderboard ranks the fastest players of the day!
I was inspired by how fun a simple game like Wordle could be and set up to make my own harder version! It was a quick launch and the entire time to develop the product was about 12 hours combined.
Initial feedback was that the game was too hard! Adding in a feature to made letters that aren't needed anymore fade away seems to have tuned this quite nicely with users submitting scores between 3-15 minutes on average!
Nerdy stuff: It's powered by LiveView and Elixir and hosted using Fly.io.
