Cruxle | Finding climbing words
Cruxle is a climbing-themed twist on the classic Wordle game. As a passionate climber who loves design and the creative process, I adapted this game to my sport.
The idea stemmed from the growing number of sports-related content creators seeking engaging tools and games to entertain their audiences.
I saw an opportunity here for climbing enthusiasts and fellow climbers to enjoy a game tailored to their passion.
Design & IA
To bring Cruxle to life, I used Vercel's AI (v0 by Vercel) for interface generation, word database creation, and the development of the game's core logic.
Creative Process
The process started with designing the interface, components, and game screens. I created individual elements such as the letter tiles, keyboard keys, grid, and buttons. Next, I designed the two main screens, giving v0 the visual cues it needed to understand the style and layout of the game.
Glossary & Game Logic
With the interface in place, I built a database of climbing-related words. Through thorough research across websites, forums, and climbing databases, I selected 100 key terms that best represent the sport.
I collaborated with the AI to refine the game rules and address edge cases that emerged during development.
Cruxle Landing page
Finally, I designed a landing page using Framer to showcase the game and provide more information to curious climbers and puzzle enthusiasts alike.
