Show HN: words.zip – Massively infinite word search (words.zip)

11 points by yathern ↗ HN
Hi HN! This is a word search game I launched in the beginning of this year - didn't get much traction then, but it's been posted around a bit (right now getting some traffic from kottke.org) and now has over 12,000 words found!

Now that it's a little more filled out I figured I'd share it again. Really enjoying seeing what everyone is making on it - it appears most people start by just adding a few words to the big clump in the middle, then adding to other people's projects (or ruining them) and finally working on their own little concepts. My favorite is the kitty to the north. Hope you enjoy!

Cool.

What do you mean by

finally working on their own little concepts.

More like Boggle than like a word search, IIUC. Words cannot be formed diagonally, but can turn corners.
