Show HN: Promptle – The Daily AI Prompt Challenge (promptle.quest)
What if Wordle met ChatGPT? Ever feel stuck trying to get the right output from ChatGPT or Midjourney? The idea sparked from a simple thought: “What if Wordle met ChatGPT?” I wanted to gamify the creative process of writing AI prompts—a skill becoming as vital as coding. As an avid prompt tinkerer and daily Wordle player, I felt there was a missing intersection between creative constraint, feedback, and skill-building. Thus, Promptle was born: a daily game where players write prompts instead of guesses, and creativity—not just logic—is the path to victory.
How it works:
- You get a daily creative challenge like “Describe a city that only appears during eclipses.” - Write a prompt and get scored on accuracy, creativity, and efficiency - Color-coded feedback à la Wordle - 3 tries per day + unlock a fun bonus round if you crush it (e.g., “Now turn it into a limerick!”) - No login, no accounts, just localStorage to track your personal best and personal streak — just play. - Share your score with friends using a signature Promptle-style, complete with medals and your final score (Think Wordle sharing… but for prompt nerds)
Tech bits overview:
- Built entirely in Bolt.new with React + Tailwind + GPT-4 Turbo + GPT-3.5 + TypeScript - Animations done with Frame Motion - LocalStorage from streaks and stats - Custom scoring using Custom GPT evaluator + similarity rubricsStreaks tracked in localStorage - Voice(experimental!) via Eleven LabsDeployed on Netlify in minutes
This is my little love letter to prompt craft and creative constraint Curious to see how you would write a prompt for “an alien smoothie recipe”?

[ 3.5 ms ] story [ 17.1 ms ] threadMy favorite was Episode 3 - "Pie-rates of the Caribbean": The task is to bake savory pies on a pirate ship in the 1700s and aboard a time-traveling vessel in the year 3000, where ingredients are sourced from different galaxies.
I wish I could see my past prompts to help me inform the next ones.
Eleven Labs Voice Integration I wanted Promptle to speak your score results back—“You got an 8/10!” with some sass. But:
- Voice API limits meant I had to cache responses cleverly to avoid burning tokens - Playback inconsistencies in mobile browsers made testing a pain
