The new Guess My Word

some terrific news that i never got around to posting here: h. ryan jones has resurrected guess my word! i didn't really have any involvement in this, but ryan's game works exactly the way mine did. there are two new words you can play every day, with a leaderboard. it's been running for several months now and i've enjoyed playing pretty much every day. you can check out the new game here.

Outage update

hi everyone, thank you for your patience while guess my word has been down. i'm still trying to figure out how to reconstruct it based on the bits and pieces of old code i had saved on my computer, because the server where it used to live was totally obliterated. it's slow going, because i wrote this code years ago and i don't remember how it all works. plus, there are a lot of little bits that fit together in various ways. i'm also trying to figure out where the game should live when it goes back up. the best place would be joonpahk.com, but for various technical reasons, it can't go there without a pretty thorough re-write in a different language. that actually isn't necessarily a bad thing, in my opinion, but it would also mean a rather delayed relaunch as i rebuild GMW more or less from scratch.
