Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of SnapWords — I built this because I kept seeing teachers spend Sunday afternoons making Quizlet sets and Kahoot games, and students play them once and never touch them again. The core idea: make it dead simple to create, and give students a reason to come back. **How it works:** 1. You type a word list (or snap a photo — OCR reads it for you) 2. You get one shareable link 3. Students click, pick a game, and play — no sign-up, ever 4. When they finish, they design a creature or building that joins a shared class world That last part is what makes it stick. The class fish tank / city / dino land / candy kingdom grows all year as students keep playing. New creatures unlock the more they play. Teachers tell me kids literally ask to practise vocabulary because they want to unlock the next creature. **It's completely free during beta** — I want real classroom feedback before charging anything. Would love to hear what you think, especially from teachers. What would make this genuinely useful in your classroom? Happy to answer anything 🙏
