I am always interested in this comparison since it shows how quickly you can go back and forth with a model, capturing both tokens/task and tokens/second. The new models seem to be meaningfully better here.

It combines nonograms with crosswords, requiring both logic and word knowledge to solve. I am still working on the interface and tutorial, as well as the puzzle difficulty levels.

I made Meshword, a daily puzzle combining crosswords and nonograms.

Each row and column has groups of scrambled letters. You need to work out the words, where they fit, and which squares are blank. There’s a new puzzle each day, and 60 practice puzzles across Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty.

The app is built with Vue/Quasar, with PocketBase serving the puzzle catalog. I have been very happy with this stack across my various daily games.

Give it a try! Would love any feedback, especially related to puzzle difficulty, I am still fine-tuning that.

It's a beautiful story, more and more relevant.

It shows the time to complete a task versus intelligence index, which is much more important for my use-case as I do quick back and forths usually. Someone on here suggested it to me a while ago. It also captures speed and token efficiency nicely, since both of these decrease time per task.

In fact, I have considered whether it may not make sense to just have a single timezone. Would make planning internationally much easier.

For my style of coding (quick back-and-forths and corrections) it makes a big difference if a model comes back in 1-2 minutes compared to 5-10, and I am happy to pay a bit extra for that.

I made a set of games controlled by waving in front of the camera a while back at https://motionparty.net This reminds me that I should finish them!

Every day, players answer 5 questions that require estimating some quantity, such as distance, year, cost etc. Then you can compare against answers of other players and the real answer.

Working on finding the right balance of questions that are both fun and also help understand facts about the world.

Today I launched a new daily game called estimatle. Every day, you guess/estimate 5 different numerical questions (such as "When did the Titanic sink?" or "How many keys are on a standard piano?"). Then, you can compare the results to the other players and the real answer. The idea of the game is to test your general knowledge and guesstimation skills, while also hopefully teaching some facts about the world.

I am interested in any feedback!

Inspired by the recebt interest in word games here on HN I wanted to share my long-running word game squareword. It features a 5x5 grid of letters containing five words down and five across, which are revealed with Wordle style guesses.

Since launch I've added features such as a daily poem, archive access and account sync. Over 30k players still play every single day.

Enjoy! :)

Thank you, much appreciated! :) And great ideas as well! Whack a mole would fit perfectly
