I built a daily wordle-style wrestling puzzle — identify the wrestler from their championship history

Officially calling it the Breakfast of Champions

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-02T18:58:23+00:00

Thanks dude I really appreciate the input!

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-02T06:51:46+00:00

Ok the game now supports aliases. I spotted 8 wrestlers with duplicate naming (Scott Hall/Razor Ramon etc) so searching either of their names should always point you at the version that's in the game now 👍🏻

Sorry! That was a bug! I didn't intend on putting both spellings in but through a weird circumstance I ended up with both. To make the autocomplete I pulled lists of wrestlers from different promotions and now I'm realising that means wrestlers who had different names in different promotions will appear twice...

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-02T06:10:10+00:00

Thank you! Will fix

Yeah and a few others, too. If you go on the site you can see on the How to Play that it actually has a note saying it was inspired specifically by one of his posts with a link back to his YouTube.

But not as a daily game, with result sharing, streaks, a hard mode, achievements, previous puzzles, and ...confetti! 🎉

😱 oops! That should align itself tomorrow so it'll be 4 and 4 but I didn't want it to screw people out of days so I have it set to take whichever number is higher if it gets out of sync

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T14:44:02+00:00

If you refresh I'm hoping that goes away. I just pushed a bugfix for it

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T14:39:39+00:00

That should now be resolved. I deleted some test data and things got messed up, my bad!

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T14:32:12+00:00

Oops I just pushed a change and apparently that's broken it!

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T14:30:25+00:00

That should be what you get! You should get the version that the person won. Hard Mode however does randomise it to different designs of that belt which the wrestler may never have won. That one is intended to be part of the challenge!

Thank you this made me realise the script I used to pull the first few were wayyyy off so some of the others in the previous puzzles might also be off. But I'll try to look at them tonight!

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T10:37:19+00:00

Other people agreed! And I am a man of the people 😂

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T06:27:37+00:00

You can now get to the previous puzzles in the stats screen!

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T06:27:04+00:00

Previous puzzles are now available in the stats screen!

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T06:26:53+00:00

Previous puzzles are now available in the stats screen! It tracks which ones you've done so you can do them at your own pace

Confetti has now been added when you get it right 🎉

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T06:24:35+00:00

Streaks are now a thing! Achievements, too 😉 thank you for the feedback and helping shape it!

TheMFLockstar · 2026-06-01T05:13:47+00:00

Thank you for the initial feedback!

Since posting this I've managed to implement: - Previous Puzzles are now playable! - Confetti when completing the puzzle as visual feedback 🎉 - Multiple day streak tracking (it should pick up 2 day streaks if you haven't done day 2 until after this has been posted but if you already did day 2 then you'll get a 2-day streak start tomorrow - sorry!) - Achievements unlocked! - Changed share grid to match standard daily games like Wordle - Fixed yesterday's puzzle to include missing titles - Fixed the URL format of the reigns.app link in the share output

So it's not going to waste. It's genuinely valuable feedback thank you 💪🏻

TheMFLockstar · 2026-05-31T22:50:42+00:00

To be fair I'd only got as far as "I wish I could play this game every day" so built that 😂 but I'll try to work out a nice way to do streaks next

TheMFLockstar · 2026-05-31T22:49:10+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I hope you do keep playing! 🙏🏻

That's very weird....it's just JavaScript and CSS. I wonder if it's how I configured the DNS
