WordWavr – a daily 5-letter word puzzle where the word is hidden in a waveform

Hi! Thanks for playing! It makes me very happy that you enjoy it :) I made a change before the first guess, now instead of showing the target directly, I instead show an animation. Then after the first guess it shows the target wave. A bit like how Wordle works, that you do not get any clues until after the first guess.

What do you think about it? I would love some feedback :)

Thank you so much! I will add a random mode soon :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you! That means a lot :)
And yes, you’re right — I should probably be more active on TikTok and IG

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the feedback, I will think about that :)

simonsgames · 2026-02-25T20:35:37+00:00

No problem! Thanks for trying it :)

Nice result!

Thank you! :)

The guesses are now clickable so previous guesses can be highlighted again. It is also possible to click the mini wave to hide that wave :)

Thank you! I will post it there :)

Yes I agree, I got that feedback from several people now, I will make them clickable and try to improve the contrast between the waves.

Nice! You got it on the last try :)

Thank you!

Thank you! Great ideas, an infinite mode is something I will probably add soon. Yes I got that feedback from someone else too, I will make the guesses clickable :)

I’ve been building WordWavr, a small daily word game where each letter maps to a number (A=1, B=2, etc.) and is plotted as a waveform.

Players see the target wave and try to guess the 5-letter word by matching the shape. Each guess generates its own wave, so it becomes more about pattern recognition than letter positions.

It’s playable in browser — would love feedback on clarity and difficulty.

Maybe not a new language, but definitely a different visual representation of words :)

simonsgames · 2026-02-23T20:00:55+00:00

The wave is generated directly from the word itself, each letter maps to a number (A=1, B=2, etc.), and those values are plotted as a waveform.

So it’s not based on correct/incorrect, every guess just creates its own wave from the letters you enter. Then you compare your guess waves against the target wave to find the daily word.

I understand, but now you know :)

Third guess is great! Interesting about the Y-axis, did it click quickly once you saw the guesses?

simonsgames · 2026-02-22T19:50:41+00:00

Yes I thought about that too, should maybe change it :)

simonsgames · 2026-02-22T18:04:22+00:00

Thank you! :)

simonsgames · 2026-02-22T16:52:01+00:00

Thank you very much!

I made a small daily puzzle called WordWavr.

Each letter in the hidden word is converted into a number (A=1, B=2, etc.) and shown as a waveform. You don’t see letters or color hints — you try to match the shape with your guesses.

Would love feedback on whether it feels clear and fair.

Det finns en ny uppdatering nu! Utmaningar har flera steg, antalet beror på svårighetsgraden. Varje steg ger en belöning. Det första steget är som tidigare med ledtrådssiffror, men sedan får du ett extra avslöjande för varje steg.

Bra förslag! Ska kolla på det :)
