Hi. Hello. Greetings. It's me. The Oatmeal guy.

I coded a word-guessing game. Here’s how it works:

• Every day for the next month, I’m going to upload a word. Your job is to guess what it is.
• You can ask for clues, but they cost points. Try to use as few of them as possible.
• After thirty days, the game will end.
• The game starts right now. Go play.

P.S. I recommend starting with the “visual clue.” It’s usually a funny drawing.


We've got a new baby at home, and I'm currently working as a writer/showrunner on an animated series at Netflix. I coded this when I could squeeze in time on my nights and weekends, so it's probably very buggy. I hope you enjoy it anyway.

How this came about:

Like most people in 2020, My wife and I were stuck at home during the pandemic. We couldn't host game nights with large groups, so we created a two-player word game. And so, A Little Wordy (the card game) was born. It’s been around for a few years now and is still our favorite game, so I coded a web-based version of it.
