Problem

A guessing game gives away nothing about how close you are to losing unless the state is visible at a glance.

What I built

The figure is drawn one stroke per wrong guess, so the remaining margin is the picture rather than a counter. Guesses come from the on-screen keyboard or the physical one, there is a hint for when a word stalls, and the running record persists in local storage.

Result

Deployed and playable, on a programming and technology word list.
