Hey, long time lurker here. I built a game called Tickerdle, it's basically Wordle but you guess S&P 500 stock ticker symbols in 6 tries. Green/yellow/grey feedback, daily puzzle, infinite mode, and a Higher or Lower mode based on market cap.

Given that this community knows their way around stocks and games, I figured you'd appreciate it. Some of the niche tickers are genuinely brutal you'll know the company but blank on the ticker completely.

Free, no sign-up needed 👉 tickerdle.org

Total long shot but I'd love to see Atrioc try it on stream someday. Feels like exactly the kind of thing he'd like c:

(Fun fact, the background is actually the stocks 1yr diagram)

Drop your score if you play!

What it is:

Guess the S&P 500 stock ticker in 6 tries. Works like Wordle — green/yellow/gray feedback after each guess. New ticker every day.

Tickerdle.org

What I built:

- Daily, Endless, and Higher or Lower game modes

- Real-time player counter

- Live stock chart as the background (shows the actual price history of the ticker you're guessing)

- Leaderboard

- Mobile responsive

- Full backend with ticker validation, chart data proxying and daily puzzle logic

Stack:

- Frontend: React 18 + Vite + Tailwind CSS

- Backend: Node.js + Express + WebSockets (ws)

- Stock data: yahoo-finance2 (server-side, so the answer ticker is never exposed to the client)

- Hosting: Hetzner VPS + nginx + PM2 + Let's Encrypt

- No database — game state lives in localStorage

It's been a fun project, combining two things I love, markets and puzzle games. Would love to hear any feedback or feature ideas from this community!
