Post Description

It's a clone of 7 Little Words, but with topics from computer science and programming. No sign-up, no app install, no tracking. It's a PWA and works offline, so you can add it to your home screen if you'd like.

Tech: js, no libs, Canvas API, Web Audio, not vibe coded, but I did use Claude for graphics and tests, puzzles curated by hand.
