Building a Word Unscrambler with JavaScript (part 5)

#webdev #javascript #buildinpublic

Hello, everyone! 👋

It’s been a while since I shared an update on my Word Unscrambler project. I honestly don’t know why I stopped midway, but here’s the good news: it’s finally finished! 🎉

When I started, I was using the Wordnik API but ran into a problem. Since I was working with vanilla JavaScript, I couldn’t hide my API keys. So, I switched to the Free Dictionary API, which doesn’t require keys. It’s been a smoother experience, and the project turned out great. While it’s not the fastest unscrambler out there (yet), it’s functional and definitely a step in the right direction.

You can try it out here: Word Unscrambler

I’d love for you to test it out and let me know what you think! Feedback, ideas, or just a simple “nice work” are all welcome.

P.S. For words with more than 5 characters, it might take a little extra time so patience is key.

Thanks for following along with my little project journey however inconsistent my updates may have been. 😅
