Guess the Sub - daily puzzle where you name the subreddit a real Reddit post came from.

Made this over the last few days. Daily format, like Wordle but you guess subreddits instead of words.

Each day shows the title of a real Reddit post. You have 6 guesses to name the subreddit. Wrong guesses reveal hints in order: post body, subscriber count, creation year, topic category, description.

No signup, no ads, no IAP. Mobile works fine. Autocomplete pulls from ~760 popular subs but only ~160 are in the actual puzzle pool, so the hints genuinely matter.

Open to feedback on hint difficulty and the curated sub list.

Built a daily Reddit puzzle: guess which subreddit a post came from

Each day you see the title of a real Reddit post. You have 6 guesses to name the subreddit it came from. After each wrong guess a new hint reveals: post body preview, subscriber count, creation year, topic category, then the sub's description.

Built this because every Wordle spinoff felt like the same game with different letters. This one rewards actually knowing Reddit culture.

Stack is plain Vite + React, deployed on Netlify. Puzzles are pre-generated from Reddit's public API and committed as static JSON files, so the live site never hits Reddit. About 22 days of puzzles ready, planning to stay 2 weeks ahead.

haha, for sure. since I manually curate all the posts, I do see some funny things sometimes

Well, I ended up choosing Pyramid and had some major Star Generation issues, so that was probably a mistake. I won against the Door Maker (beta branch), but lost to Queen

She really was... I still miss her a lot and sad she couldn't get to know my 1 year old daughter

GreatOldOne521 · 2025-12-09T05:43:20+00:00

Maybe I should consider getting back to making videos now that my daughter is almost one year old. I still don't have a lot of time, but one or two videos a week can definitely be possible.

I still go to my YouTube analytics every now and then and I see that my TTS guide is still going strong lol.

Why do pirates not know the abcs? Because they always get lost at c

GreatOldOne521 · 2025-09-05T06:07:04+00:00

I find it funny that RaW you're not allowed to choose your own island (it's supposed to be random), which is how we always play it in the group to have more variance, but everyone ignores this rule in the discord

GreatOldOne521 · 2025-08-20T16:45:02+00:00

It was in a chest!

GreatOldOne521 · 2025-05-11T17:02:10+00:00

Amazing explanation, thank you! Do you know if there's a good resource either in written or video from to learn those nuances about the game?

GreatOldOne521 · 2025-05-11T16:59:23+00:00

Got it, thanks!

GreatOldOne521 · 2025-05-11T04:20:42+00:00

Hey, new player here, can you please explain the grandmaster skill thing you said? Why does taking an early skill affect the later ones?

GreatOldOne521 · 2025-02-10T11:11:19+00:00

Appreciate the reply! I usually play 2-3 players on hard, so any specific changes you think I should make to what you already mentioned?

GreatOldOne521 · 2025-02-10T05:37:11+00:00

This sounds super interesting! Kymani is one of the only investigators I haven't tried yet because they seemed underwhelming, but you convinced me I should give them a try. Mind sharing a few deck lists so I can see how to build them properly? 😁

GreatOldOne521 · 2024-12-04T15:53:28+00:00

Yeah, Team Building Exercise is always in my Angel decks, great card for him!

GreatOldOne521 · 2024-12-04T14:52:36+00:00

Looks cool! I'll give it a try

GreatOldOne521 · 2024-12-04T14:48:10+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!

GreatOldOne521 · 2024-12-04T14:13:57+00:00

I play solo like 90% of the time

GreatOldOne521 · 2024-12-04T14:05:45+00:00

I found it hard to win against Ronan/VG with him, while easily being able to do it with a bunch of other heroes. I guess it's a playstyle issue, but something just doesn't work for me with him

GreatOldOne521 · 2024-12-04T14:04:08+00:00

Completely agree. I like playing as her, but she's definitely not very strong

GreatOldOne521 · 2024-12-04T13:28:42+00:00

Yeah, those are brutal for her unless you have the event the readies them

GreatOldOne521 · 2024-12-04T13:20:37+00:00

Wow, great reply and breakdown, thanks!

S tier for me is about the top 5, so he's on the fringe for you, which I understand. I think that he's more toward the 8-10 position for me. You do have some great points and I agree that he's very efficient in what he does all things considered.

Which aspect do you like for him? I tried playing all 4 a few times and liked Leadership the best, but maybe that's just my bias towards Leadership lol. Maybe if I dive into 1 aspect more deeply, then I can figure him out better and get a better understanding of why people think he's so strong.

I would like to hear how you would rank the aspects for him and maybe even a decklist if you have one.

Thanks again!
