Web Based News Word Game with Simply Sweet Games

Back to Projects

The Problem:
Canadians feel overwhelmed by the volume of news, leading to anxiety and disengagement. Existing word games on news sites act as separate features, not bridges to the news content.

Approach:
LLM-powered content pipeline to scan partner news feeds to incorporate into a web-based word game.
Agile Scrum with weekly sprints and iterative prototyping.
Embeddable web component built with HTML for easy integration into any news site.

Anticipated Outcome:
By week 13, we will deliver a fully playable prototype consisting of a series of word puzzles, integration documentation, a content pipeline, user testing insights, and all ready assets. The result is an ethical, low-anxiety engagement layer that helps news partners increase reader retention and understand language trends without invasive tracking.
