Show HN: A daily word puzzle Jointter revisited

1•proy87•13m ago
Hello.

This is a follow-up to the post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50317548

I've got tons of feedback. Thank you all so much for that!

The main issue was an absence of tutorial. I've added it. Hope it helps.

Since many people have played, I've noticed that many people start the game, but almost no one finishes it. Is the game hard? What is the main obstacle?

Most people, when see opened HA......, try to enter the word that start with HA and give up, forgetting that the first letter can be B as well. It is not necessary to enter specific words. You can submit whatever word you like.

So, I'd like to ask for your advice. How to improve the game, so that more people finish it? Maybe I shouldn't make it a daily game with increasing difficulty throughout the week? The same board hides multiple words. I thought that some sort of a challenge would be a good idea, but don't know how to implement it: https://www.jointter.com/2026-11-02/?w=PUP

The idea of the game is good, but mechanics and gameplay are far from perfect.

As before, constructive criticism is always welcome.

You can test and retest the game at https://www.jointter.com

Thank you very much!
