I don't know what I'm going to post here yet so follow to find out together!

I draw, mostly life drawing; I make nonsense in JavaScript; once I hacked my Roomba so I could drive it around and shoot at paper Doom monsters; I helped design and build a computer from 10,000 dominoes; I've re-enacted a toothpaste commercial at the Edinburgh Fringe; if you click "random worm name" often enough in Worms 3D you get my name; and I created Cell Tower — a Wordle-inspired daily word game.

So yeah, this page could be anything tbh

The game is exactly the same, but there are a handful of new features in the player:

  • An 'unselect all' button that clears your whole selection.
  • OS-independent settings for dark- & reduced-animation modes
  • If you don't put any words in for a while, a 'hint' button will appear.

most of these are quality of life updates for players who highlight the entire grid before committing to adding any words, no idea why people play like that but not for me to say, whatever you enjoy is the right way to play

I'm guessing people play like that to be able to get a perfect game

Anyways, just wanted to tell you that I enjoy cell tower a lot! it tickles my brain in the right way or sth

Yeah, I'm sure that's it, I just don't feel the need myself — you're still guessing a bunch of wrong words and the score isn't saved anywhere so I'd rather see the chaos than pretend it wasn't there. But hey, I don't care how people enjoy it, I'm just glad y'all do 💜
