That's not Dave by the way. I just googled "scrabble man".

Fun fact: We prototyped Dave’s Word Game using Scrabble tiles.

Nearly 2 years ago from now @joelotter.com shared this with me and it's unbelievable both how much fun and dangerously addictive Dave's Word Game is.

Don't sleep on this one!

🧩 Dave’s Word Game is your next daily word challenge!

Test your vocab, strategy, and foresight. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day. Beat your friends to the top of the leaderboard.

👉 Be among the first to play on Dec 15th

You can never have enough word games!

A PC version will follow a little bit later!

We're announcing our new game! Dave's Word Game is a brand new daily word puzzle. We've been building it over the last year and we think it's really fun. We're releasing it for free, on iOS and Android, on December 15th. Give us a follow to see more updates, we'll be sharing more very soon!

Since apparently it now needs to be said:

@bearwaves.com do not use GenAI tools at any stage of development: from ideation, to production, to release, it's all real, organic, ursine contributions.

OUR NEXT GAME WILL BE OUT THIS YEAR FOR ANDROID AND IOS with pc a bit later

Well we were going to announce it anyway so

Feud by Bearwaves Turn-based abstract strategy game.

Today is 6 years since we launched our little game that could into Early Access. Happy birthday, Feud! I and other Bearwaves folks will be online throughout the day if you'd like to challenge us (I'm joelotter in-game). Not played before? It's on itch, steam, epic and mobile. bearwaves.itch.io/feud

A screenshot of Feud. The black pieces are on the bottom, that’s me, my opponent is up top.

First game of Feud in a while, a new opponent, let’s see how I do. The Feud community likes to make fun of me for how bad I am at my own game so I am not optimistic.

First time player experience is very important to us at @bearwaves.com , which is why we are engaged in a competition to effectively communicate the rules of our game with weird little poems
