Looking back on this past week, what was something you were proud of accomplishing?

Recently I came to realize that Jotto 2020, a game which I created 14 months ago for a software hackathon contest, had the potential to become a world-wide pop culture phenomenon.
A 5-letter game of Jotto 2020

As a contest submission, the game finished poorly in the standings. As a form of leisure, the game was received well by "word-nerds" like myself, but it never really captured the imagination of anyone. Pride was not something I was feeling then.

Today in 2022, I can look back to that time with a semblance of pride. Perhaps my creation was not merely a quaint, esoteric little puzzle game. Perhaps it was actually something special after all.

@tonedef71 you should definitely feel proud. You were very creative and followed through with many aspects of this game. It sure was not merely a quaint, esoteric little puzzle game. With the latest (Jan 31, 2022) NYTimes story of them acquiring Wordle, you should continue with your creative efforts. Good luck!
