Show HN: Word/Image game - Woordplay
http://woordplay.com
I came up with an idea to test how people read words, and whether they can interpret meaning and quickly extract letters and form other words, then wrapped it in a game mechanic.
The concept might seem slightly strange, but after seeing those emails a few years back where the first and last letters are in their correct places, but the other letters are jumbled, I thought people might go for it. You simply take the first letter of the object, colour or flag in a picture and write it down. You then do this for a string of images to form a word (players can then score points for doing this), and there are groups and leaderboards for some competition.
It's built on a standard Rails/MySQL structure, and can be used on the desktop or via a mobile web app, plus uses Twitter for user sign-up/sign-in.
Any thoughts and feedback is greatly appreciated - it's obviously still being worked on, but some pointers now will ultimately help!
Thanks!
