Hang Five – Daily Word Puzzle Game
Play Hang Five, the daily word puzzle game! Guess five words related to a common theme, track your streaks, and share your scores with friends. New puzzles every day at midnight!

There's a story behind that theme, involving my ear, a trip to the GP, the hospital and finally to an ear cleaning nurse. Yesterday was a strange day!

And thank you for playing! We're so happy to bring a little bit of joy (and frustration!) to people every day!

Excited to hear you're sharing your Hang Five! And even more excited to find a community living on TWG!

I agree with this. The code (and any output really) that GenAI produces is only useful if you understand it and can prompt to improve it. Or just improve it yourself. I've found GitHub Copilot invaluable when building my side-hustle product. It's interestingly been less useful at the day job.

This one seems like it might have legs at least. Killed my Twitter account today finally!

Just hope the LLM generation will be able to learn new things otherwise we'll all be stuck in the past!

Are you including dependencies on AWS in this assessment, or just as a sales channel?

Nice work! Thanks for playing. You happened to start during what turned out to be a patch of difficult puzzles!

I'm glad you're still enjoying Hang Five!

My suggestion is to get everyone at work hooked on it too then everybody and nobody will be late!

Does that mean you now have to wake up earlier or that you get up later?!

Well, my follow was because you played Hang Five today!
