Two years ago, on the height of Wordle's popularity I wanted to play a custom word against my colleague and ended up sending the emojis manually in the chat to each of their guesses.
That was a Friday and the same evening I had the idea to make it into one of the many derivatives and finished the same night around 3am.
Things went a bit popular from there and it wasn't long before I was contacted by companies that wanted their own branded version. That meant I had a potential product on my hand and started selling subscriptions to managed branded puzzle sites.
Fast-forward a year and I sold the weekend project for a nice sum. :)
