Show HN: 7 Coder Words – A puzzle game for computer science nerds
A developer launched 7 Coder Words, a word puzzle game built for programmers and computer science enthusiasts.
A developer called p2detar launched 7 Coder Words, a puzzle game designed around computer science and programming concepts. The game was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN submission on September 21, 2026, and is hosted on itch.io, the indie game platform.
The game takes the word-puzzle format and tailors it specifically for people working in or studying computer science. Rather than generic vocabulary, the puzzle targets terminology, concepts, and ideas familiar to developers and computer scientists. The exact mechanics of gameplay are available directly on the itch.io project page.
The project represents the kind of niche, hobbyist indie game creation that flourishes on itch.io, where developers ship small passion projects directly to audiences without traditional publishing gatekeepers. Show HN posts on Hacker News are a common way for makers to get early feedback and visibility within tech communities, and this submission shows the creator tapping that channel to reach potential players.
The game is live and playable now for anyone interested in word puzzles with a programming twist.
