Hey ProductHunt! 👋
I'm Adam! I built Proximath with zero coding experience. Just an idea, Claude Code as my coding partner, and one evening.
The concept: Wordle teaches you colours. Proximath teaches you distance. Every letter has a number (A=1 to Z=26) and your tiles show exactly how many alphabet steps away you are and which direction to go.
Since launch I've added streak tracking, a monthly leaderboard with a £10 Amazon gift card prize, shareable player profiles, and colour blind accessibility mode.
It's completely free, no download, no account needed to start.
Would love your honest feedback - especially whether the distance mechanic clicks immediately or needs more explanation!
