(April 2026)"]]>Still cranking away on my daily game called https://lettered.io. I’ve been learning a lot about WebGL recently trying to improve perf and UX on some of the larger puzzles

I recently had someone email me saying they loved my game but ran slow on their 12 year old(!) android phone that really put things into perspective for me

I wish we took perf more seriously as a culture there

(February 2026)"]]>Thanks a ton! Difficulty is a great question. After a few rounds of puzzles, I like to aim for an 85-90% completion rate and found that puzzles with around 30-40 characters or usually 10-15 words is the sweet spot. Smaller letter pieces can also up the ante. There is a seeded puzzle generator algorithm that handles puzzle layout and piece creation. There’s an option to create your own puzzles and it’s always a treat seeing the bee movie script get generated lol

I whipped together this game where you're given a set of events and need to arrange them in chronological order.

Looking for y'all to try it out and let me know what you think and what could be better.

Made with Next, Firebase, and Tailwind. The source code can be found at https://github.com/ajhenry/chronle.com.

Thanks - ajhenry
