Letter Flow a Word Game with Liquid Glass Design

The killer detail here is the liquid-droplet UI and the one-tap AI level generator running on-device — small touches that make a familiar word game feel tactile and modern. It's not reinventing the category, though; reported glitches (missing letters/misspellings) and a tiny rating base keep this from feeling like a must-share hit.

Spelling Riddle – Think Spellbee with crossword clue and visual hint

Every word pairs a crossword-style text clue with an image hint generated and linted by an LLM/image pipeline — that's a clever UX twist that forces semantic reasoning instead of guesswork. The creator also built a nontrivial quality pipeline (Swiss-style LLM matches + Wilson lower-bound scoring) to pick good puzzle words, which is an uncommon level of rigor for a hobby game. UI shows thoughtful interactions (hint taps reveal/remove letters, center-letter rule, PWA install), though clarity around image provenance and accessibility could be tighter.
