1. Description

Tilez is a a game where users move rows of tiles to make words vertically, ‘winning’ when all the tiles have been used and have changed colour. Users can login to retrieve details of their performance on the game from a database.

The project is built using Next.js with the /app router and Tailwind CSS, and uses Clerk for user authentication. The data is stored in a Postgres database, which is created and accessed with SQL queries.

As it's a game there isn't really a problem domain identifiable - unless a user has a problem filling their time with gameplay while expanding their vocabulary.

The game can be played at: https://tilez.vercel.app/
