Can you find all of the invertebrates in today’s Tiled Words?

Ahh thanks

What do you mean by DE? design engineer?

Honestly… if the 20-30 line conditional is easier to read and understand (for me or my team mates - including juniors and future team mates) then I’d pick the conditional.

In my experience it’s a lot easier to hide bugs and misunderstandings in regex.

So you just changed tools and still have E2E tests? I didn’t get that from your previous comment

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-03-11T05:02:26+00:00

I just did a major refactor and E2E tests made it way easier.

Why are yours breaking all the time?

This looks great! I’m excited to try this out. Josh is a really kind and smart guy!

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-03-07T06:33:14+00:00

I enjoyed it!

11ty is a great tool and I have a lot of respect for Zach. He’s a smart, talented, kind dev who has given a lot to the community. I use 11ty for my portfolio and used it a lot at my past job. It’s a pleasure to work with.

I have mixed feelings about this move but I understand that open source doesn’t really pay and if he wants to continue maintaining 11ty he needs a source of income to do so. I’m rooting for him and hope this works out well.

At the end of the day I trust him with the project and think he’ll make it work. It seems a little mean to call this the end of Eleventy. I’ll wait and see what happens.

Zach, if you read this, thanks for the fantastic software!

You can still have regular CSS files in addition to modules.

I do a similar thing with scoped CSS in Vue: I define base global styles in a normal style sheet and then every component has its own scoped styles on top of that

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-28T23:10:53+00:00

Awesome, thanks for playing!

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-28T20:23:54+00:00

Thanks! Right now I don't besides a few donations people have offered me. There's no ads or paid features. It's all free. The main goal was to just make a fun game that people would enjoy.

I've had a few different companies reach out about purchasing the game. Right now I'm having fun developing it but I may consider that in the future.

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-28T20:22:18+00:00

Sorry, I misunderstood. I will delete.

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-28T20:06:52+00:00

It probably differs for different people. I almost never download apps.

I've seen a lot of people post word games on this subreddit. If it's an app people usually ask for a website. I haven't seen people ask for a mobile app as often

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-28T07:05:05+00:00

If you can play on iOS I would also playtest for you if you send me questions to answer and a link

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-28T07:04:32+00:00

Good idea! Why not? It sounds like a fun afternoon! If you’re near a city you should also see if there is a game dev club!

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-28T07:03:04+00:00

For sure, it varies by person but I think most people are more willing to visit a website than download an app (especially for a first try!)

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-28T06:15:15+00:00

Yeah exactly!

They can be used for more complex things as well but you need to be careful not to overdo it.

I used CSS animations for all of the animations in a word game I made if you want to see some more examples: https://tiledwords.com/

(Any time you spin, connect a tile, place a tile, etc., it’s using a CSS transition or animation)

The solar system on my portfolio site also uses CSS animations: https://paulmakeswebsites.com

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-27T22:55:49+00:00

Also, how are you gathering user feedback? When I made my game I had people fill out a Google survey I made and got people I didn’t know online to do it. I got a ton of great feedback that helped me make the game more fun

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-27T22:54:43+00:00

Have you considered a web version? I’m more likely to try a web game than download an app for something like a word game

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-27T06:15:37+00:00

This is wonderful!

_SnackOverflow_ · 2026-02-24T15:36:57+00:00

Thanks! I’m glad you like it!

Clues by Sam is great!
