Tell HN: My daily game won a Players Choice Award

17•paulhebert•18h ago
I've shared my game Tiled Words a few times in "What are you working on" threads and as a Show HN.

I wanted to share with y'all that today it won the Players' Choice Award at the 2025 Playlin Daily Game Awards!

It was also runner up for Best Word Game and a finalist for Best Classic Game Reimagined and Best Visual Design.

Thanks to everyone herewho commented or played. Your feedback and encouragement has made Tiled Words the game it is today. I designed and developed the game and make the puzzles with my wife. We would have stopped long ago if not for the positive feedback from the community.

Playlin is a really cool organization and all of the winners are fantastic games that you should try: https://playlin.io/awards/winners

Congratulations! Well deserved. I typically loathe daily puzzle games (I don’t want to have to come back every day, I just want to play a few rounds; you at least have the backlog always accessible) but Tiled Words kept me coming back for a while and I shared it with friends. The game is fun and the interaction is delightful, which was a big part of what made it stick for me.

Thanks! I’m glad you like it.

It’s funny: I didn’t originally plan to make a daily game (or a word game for that matter.) But after prototyping a few different game concepts this was the game and format that worked best! So here I am with a daily word game haha
