Introducing Phrasicle: A New Word Chain Game Inspired by Classic Phrases

We are excited to showcase the debut web game by a talented new developer—my wife. After spending the past six years nurturing our three young children at home, she decided to channel her creativity into developing a fun and engaging online game. The result is Phrasicle (accessible at phrasicle.com), a word puzzle game inspired by the NYT-style word chain games and classic idioms.

About the Game

Phrasicle presents players with a challenging task: uncover words within a grid to reveal a familiar saying or idiom, known as the “Phrasicle.” The gameplay centers around solving a series of interconnected word chains—similar in concept to the mechanics of Chain Reaction—to gradually unlock the phrase. It’s designed to be both entertaining and mentally stimulating, perfect for word enthusiasts and casual gamers alike.

Our Journey

As someone sharing this moment of pride, I wanted to highlight her achievement and share the game with a wider audience. While she’s not very active on Reddit, I thought this community might appreciate the dedication and creativity that went into this project.

Looking Ahead

We’re eager to grow Phrasicle’s user base and would be grateful for any insights or strategies you’ve employed to scale your projects successfully.

Thank you for taking the time to check out the game—hope you enjoy playing it as much as she enjoyed creating it!
