As a life-long gamer, I’m interested in using Replit to make games.
I built a minimal word game to test it out and deployed it on CrazyGames.
Here’s the link -
For those wishing to pursue similar projects and/or wondering… the hardest part as with all word games, was finding a dictionary. But Github to the rescue. There are multiple sources that include English words as a JSON object, and if they don’t, I just run it thought ChatGPT (I could do Replit but why burn the credits) and convert it to one.
Using an internal dictionary is better than using an API word checker for multiple reasons. To finish off the game, I had Copilot make a cover for in the style of Atari 2600 retro cartridge box art.
I know there’s a number of improvements I could make to the game, but I wanted to stick with an MVP and have fun. Keep it light, keep it minimal, keep it simple, keep it fun.
If you’ve got any questions, let me know. I’m going to try more games in the future. Long live Replit!
