📢 Introducing my new daily word game, Keywords! "If Only Connect was presented by Mavis Beacon*" Like Wordle? Like Connections? Like stuff? Then there's a vague chance you'll enjoy this. Find the five connected words of increasing length by typing into the boxes. *one for the young'uns there

Type the correct letter and you move on to the next until you complete the word - but if you guess wrong you have to restart that word. You get nine 'lives' which resets on each word. If you don't get the first one then you can try again! And every morning there will be a new set of connected words.

Very cool. I failed to complete today, but I like it. I think it would be nice (although easier) if your previous guessed letters on a line were highlighted so you know which letters you have already tried on that line. I forgot which letters I'd tried a couple of timed. Very slick though. Nice game

Cheers! Yes having to remember the letters you've tried is part of the challenge. When I was trying out ideas I initially had the guessed letters highlighted on the keyboard, but I found it more difficult/fun without (with the bonus that it made the UI feel less cluttered)

Yes, that makes sense. It just might be too easy with the flagged letters. I love it though. A C64 version of this could work nicely.
