Find the Word

The idea

Word games in Hebrew are rare, and the good ones rarely respect the language. Find the Word connects neighbouring letters — horizontally, vertically or diagonally — on a board that grows level by level, from a gentle 3×3 up to a challenging 7×7.

How it’s built

The game is a single Flutter codebase that runs identically on iPhone, Android and the web. Every push to main runs analysis and tests, then publishes the web build automatically — so the public link is always the latest version.

Boards aren’t hand-made. A generator places letters so that each board is guaranteed to be solvable against a curated Hebrew dictionary — the same dictionary that later became the open hebrew-words-db dataset.

Details that matter

• Final letters done right. Hebrew has five letters with a different form at the end of a word. The board always shows the regular form to avoid visual noise, and the engine converts to the final form in the found word.
• A reason to come back. Stars, coins, a daily hint bonus that grows over a week, and a shop for extra hints.
• Zoe the detective dog guides new players through an interactive tutorial with animated demos.
• Full RTL and accessibility across the interface, set in the Heebo typeface.

Code first, AI-accelerated

I wrote the game’s architecture and core logic myself, and worked with AI coding agents to speed up the rest — design docs first, then implementation, with static analysis and tests in CI keeping every change honest.
