Show HN: Cobble – A hard daily word game

https://wilf.live/cobble/
30•wolfred•6mo ago
How to play:

1. You're given a set of letters (such as "ZXCVBNM")

2. Come up with two words that use all the letters (like "convex zombie")

3. The shorter the words, the better!

A bit surprised that TILTH is not in the acceptable word list.
floren•6mo ago
Ah, so I'm not the only one!
spookie•6mo ago
Could make it with 2 common words for 11. But a second attempt used archaic ones.

It's a bit limited though

eszed•6mo ago
Nor was "hilted", so I came back here to complain about the word list. :-)

Cute game! A way to sign up without a google account would be nice, but since it's playable without it, that's good enough for me for now.

I completed the puzzle and it said “Good”. Then I looked at the scoreboard and other people got numerical scores? And I didn’t?
v64•6mo ago
your score is the length of your two words plus the space

You shouldn’t force people to create an account. Pretty much all other xxxle games are login-free.
degamad•6mo ago
I was able to play without an account, when did it force you to create one?
spookie•6mo ago
Before it did.
vrosas•6mo ago
Neat. Remove the need to log in and use the regular keyboard, please.
gsliepen•6mo ago
What if you find one word that covers all the letters, like "highlighted"?
MinimalAction•6mo ago
There are two Ts in the prompt. Choose a long second word with a T in it.

Nice! Fun game and works well :)

- I don’t think the space bar again to submit is super obvious.

- It’d be nice if it showed the numeric score at the end too, not just in the leaderboard. It’s also not obvious how the score is calculated (I think it’s the length of both words?)

- Would also be nice to show the score for the reveal words, so I can see how close I was to the best score

- If you log in it resets the board, maybe you could put it in localstorage before redirecting?

I liked it and got a 7 space 4.

Is this the max score? How can I know? It wants me to login for a reveal… which is unfortunately where I bounced. Maybe I would sign up after a fews days if I got hooked because I found it really annoying when I lost my wordle streak.

andelink•6mo ago
It says “framer” is not in the word list, but it most certainly is a word, at least according to the New Oxford American Dictionary.
Lalabadie•6mo ago
Looks like the word list in this game is rather thin. Some other that are absent from it: Reframe, Merman, Mummer, Rimmer, Rummer

(English is not my first language)

tumnus•6mo ago
Let's add 'Murmurer' to that list
