PROBLEM
Casual word games often feel heavy with accounts, ads, or confusing rules. Players need a light challenge that is easy to start and fun to share on one device.

Personal Project
Word Chain Challenge
Word Chain Challenge is a quick word-linking game for curious minds. Pick a mode, add your name, and keep the chain alive: each word must start from the previous ending. Play solo against WordBot or pass turns with a friend. Scoring is simple (+1 correct, −1 pass), and the game stays only on the device.

SOLUTION
I built a clear two-step setup — choose solo or friend mode, enter a name, then start — with readable scoring, light/dark theme, and local-only play so nothing needs a backend.
OUTCOME
Shipped a live game at wordchain.sartajalam.in with solo and friend modes, device-local play, and a clean challenge-focused UI.
