Other notables that my brain immediately went to: LATENT, GRANGE, HOMES. I've got an idea to also do a regular social or website post of a crossword style puzzle using the Lexonimos. We'll see if that ever happens. So many options with 68 Lexonimos having 2 letters on each card.

The Blank opens up a lot of 6 and 7 letters options such as: LARGEST, PATENTS, PATIENT, AGENTS, and GYRATE. Since the board is not static, the Blank will move, opening up new word possibilities. #tabletop #boardgames #cardgames

There are actually a lot of words in this grid. Using the Blank square, I can spell PATIENTS for 8 letters. In the game I'm developing, you have 60 seconds to scan the board and call out a word, so the time pressure definitely impacts cognitive load. Can't wait to release the #tabletop version!

Almost ready for the next game, this time a speller. I'm assuming there are some sickos out there (like me) who like to spell things. What are the biggest words you can spell with this grid?

Nice find! Mi mami just sent me this book, I’m obsessed with español caribeño and his Dictionary of Puerto Rican Colloquialisms is fantastic. Phrases I grew up hearing and am still hearing now with a better understanding of.

I never mentioned that my binary-to-decimal math game made the Waitlist for FIG! Alas, the game won't be featured but this should be a fun event regardless haha. I bought a ticket and hoping to go, but child 2 has some sports thing so we'll see. If you are around the Boston area, check it out!

So many to choose and I have deep deep cuts to choose from but I drained many AAs on gameboy Tetris. 2 player vs mode cable got some serious use, too. My love for pattern matching puzzlers is epitomized with this game experience!

Ah, not yet! I’ll likely push it to thoughtprotocol and make some YouTube explainers like my first game. A lot to do still as a one man operation

Thanks for looking out! I reserved it on July 30, not sure how long it takes to show up.

Daniel Martínez PhD @dmartinezphd.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Thanks for the feedback! Also, I hope the game is more accessible since it's about spelling words (with a wrinkle, because my brain works weird). I had a very dark background for the logo which looked OK, but I agree this is cleaner. Though it does give me flashbacks to candy cigarette boxes haha.

My prototype boxes just came in for my next card game! I really like this color scheme. If you like word builders like scrabble, banangrams, boggle, etc. Now time to build inventory and hope to have this ready to go by November.

It's crazy how easy it is to make black look brown or green and it's also crazy that by doing that, your lifetime before fading goes up. In print black is all the colors and it is coating a white paper. At least that's the way I think the print company I use does it. Any small blemish shows up easy.

Getting a couple of new tabletop games ready for production and sale. I’m noticing that dark print fades fast and black is really hard to get right as a color. I’m sure this is well understood but new to me! Anyway, if you like to spell or pattern match, I’ve got some games you might want to try!

‘Pundit’ comes from the Hindi word ‘paṇḍit,’ a term of respect for a wise person. Its ultimate source is the Sanskrit word ‘paṇḍita,’ meaning “learned.” It now usually means…something different.
