I'm thinking about changing how the "Reveal" system works in #TiledWords and I could use your feedback!

Currently:

- You get 3 reveals per puzzle
- Clicking the (?) next to a clue reveals the word

This is useful as an escape hatch but is "all or nothing" and not very fun...

I’m blown away by how many people are playing Tiled Words. Over 400 people completed yesterday’s daily puzzle!

Today’s theme is “Coffee” and it’s a great puzzle to play with a cup of Joe.

Can you find all the coffee-related clues?

Today I'm launching Tiled Words, my own unique spin on the daily word puzzle genre.

tiledwords.com

Tiled Words merges tile-placing board game mechanics with crosswords.

This game has been a labor of love. Share it with your friends and check back tomorrow for a new puzzle.

I love the barter system!

I traded my neighbor some garden goodies for some high quality poster prints for the Portland Retro Galing Expo this weekend!

Fresh eggs! Can you guess which one is the ceramic/fake egg?

This latest batch of hot sauce is one of my favorites so far. Good heat level, mixed with sweetness from the milder peppers, onion/garlic flavor and some funky umami from the ferment.

I just harvested another batch of peppers to make more! The goal is have enough to last until this time next year!

I've been working on a "daily streak" interface for my daily word puzzle game. I'm pretty pleased with how it scales up to more days.

You can play with it here: codepen.io/phebert/pen/...

We recently subscribed to chicken TV. It’s kind of like TV except it’s chickens outside your basement window. Highly recommended.

The most exciting thing in my life is that I just had a baby! But I probably won't post about them a ton. I tend to post more about hobbies than my personal life and don't want them to have a huge social media presence as a kid

In my freetime I like to design and develop games. I'm working on a daily word puzzle game now and post about its development. It should be released soon!
