Hey Product Hunt! I'm excited to share Redacted., a new daily literary detective guessing game, with you today. As a book lover who got tired of daily word games that felt disconnected from actual literature, I wanted something that celebrated the classics instead of just testing vocabulary. What makes it different: Every book (so far!) is public domain (Austen, Dickens, Tolstoy, Homer, Mary Shelley) No paywalls, no ads, no account required New puzzle every day at midnight EST Six attribute clues help you narrow it down (author, country, year, gender, genre) Your stats and streaks save automatically in your browser What's next: I'm planning to expand the library to 250+ books and add a browsable catalog page where you can see the full collection. My workplace book club has been testing it for the past two weeks and the feedback has been great. I'd love to hear what you think! Try today's puzzle and let me know how many guesses it takes you: https://playredacted.com Happy to answer any questions!
