Glyph

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I've been obsessing over this puzzle since I doodled it in math class in 2007. Finally shipped it today. The concept: Letters stack on the same baseline, overlapping into a "glyph." You decode what word they spell. What I learned building this: The tutorial took 4 complete rewrites. What felt obvious to me after hours of dev totally confused first-time players. The "aha moment" has to land in under 60 seconds or people bounce. Difficulty progression matters more than I expected. Spent weeks balancing the Mon-Sun curve. Too easy = boring, too hard = frustrating quit. Getting that right was harder than building the core mechanic. Polish is everything. Animations, micro-feedback, the mobile keyboard layout, all felt like overkill until I watched testers actually use it. The difference between "neat idea" and "I'm coming back tomorrow" lives in those details. Would genuinely love feedback on what makes you come back (or not). Happy to answer questions about the development process or design decisions!
