Glad to have it added. I like how it immediately gets me thinking I need to figure out how to solve two words at once 😁

Added Traversle to Playlin today! Love the core question of whether a word network can be built that people can navigate this way. Credited it to Nicholas with you, Nikhil, and Jon as collaborators based on your follow-up post here. Happy to tweak if you'd prefer it framed differently.

Took a break between curations to add a way to highlight games that are getting noticed on social to the Playlin homepage.

Screenshot of the PlayIn mobile homepage featuring the trending word game “Duotrigordle” by Bryan Chen. A phone mockup shows the game’s many word grids, with text describing it as solving 32 five-letter words in 37 guesses. Buttons read “View Game,” “Quick Play,” and “My List,” and a “Sip & Solve” heading appears below.
