Show HN: Wreflecto – word puzzle inspired by the ancient SATOR Square(wreflecto.com)
1 points by nowflux 7 hours ago | 2 comments

Wreflecto is a word square puzzle where every row and every column must form a valid word. Read more about ancient word squares here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sator_Square

Unlike crossword or wordle, there are many possible solutions. Any valid word combination works. 4x4 (easy) on weekdays. 5x5 (hard) on weekends. Two modes - mirror (https://wreflecto.com/mirror), and cross (https://wreflecto.com/cross).

Daily puzzle is free on web. Built using vanilla JS/HTML/CSS, everything runs in the browser, no backend, no ads, no account/login.

Also turned it into an iOS game with both daily and on-demand unlimited play offline: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6751056949

Please let me know if you try it.

Nice job. I've seen a couple of "non-mirrored" variations of this where they pre-fill a few of the letters in the grid at random to start you off.

Feedback - the heart icon on mobile is right next to the letter A - fat-fingering it for the 12th time only to have the game navigate you to the Stripe donation page was getting a bit irritating.
