I made a Venn diagram based word game called Vendy.

I continue to tweak my game - two words are hidden in a Venn diagram. Letters can repeat.

Blue letters = only in Word 1

Purple letters = shared letters

Pink letters = only in Word 2

Game Title: Vendy

Playable Link: playvendy.com

Platform: Web / Mobile Browser

Description:
I created Vendy while teaching high school math students about Venn diagrams. The students got weirdly competitive trying to solve them, so I kept refining the idea into a daily word puzzle game. Named it Vendy after wife Wendy.

Each Vendy is a two-word phrase. The puzzle has two circles filled with letters - circle 1 letters make up word one, same with word 2, the intersection letters are in both words. Letters can be repeated.

I recently added a rolling weekly archive so new players can try a few puzzles without losing the “daily puzzle” feel. Most puzzles take under a minute, and the game is designed to work cleanly on phones and browsers without downloads or signups. 

You can also create your own to share and challenge friends.

Would genuinely love feedback on the difficulty curve, UI, and overall feel.

I designed and built the game myself, including the puzzle system, UI, branding, and daily puzzle structure.

​I originally made this while teaching high school math students about Venn diagrams. The students liked it, so I kept building it into a daily game. Named it Vendy after my wife Wendy.

A two-word phrase is hidden in the circles. Letters in the overlap are in both words and letters can repeat.

I recently added a rolling weekly archive so new players can try a few puzzles instead of just one.

I'm a math teacher and I turned a Venn diagram into a daily word game.

It started as something I drew on the board. The letters in the middle belong to both words and can repeat. My students got into it, so I built it into a real game.

I named it Vendy after my wife Wendy-if only I had married a Myrtle.

One puzzle a day, tracks your streaks: playvendy.com (best on your phone)

You can make your own and send it to a friend too.

Would love feedback. Thanks, Dean

I made this after drawing the Venn diagrams on the board—my students got into it, so I turned it into a daily game. Named it Vendy after my wife - still thinking about Myrtle.

Would love to know if you get it.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dean
