A downloadable game for Android

The NYT "strands" game - just worse

This version of the famous game allows to use the user to create their own puzzle, or play from a large databse of user-submitted puzzles. 

Users can also battle it out, solving puzzles as fast as possible against friends, increasing their ELO to get a place on the leaderboard. 

All user inputted puzzles are screened by an AI to ensure they are appropriate and possible. 


DISCLAIMERS:

I do not own the rights of the 'Strands' trademark, nor do I have any authority by the New York Times to publish this. Therefore, I cannot make any money from this product as to not dishonor NYT's intellectual property rights. 

As of now, due to the lack of user-submitted puzzles, some AI-generated puzzles are in the dataset. I am in the process of replacing them with my own, but given that they are usually of higher quality, and my belief that a dataset of greater quantity is important over all else, there are still some within the game.
