Word Memory

This is a simple, web-based memory game to help my daughter practice her sight words. When she was doing preschool at home during the pandemic lockdown, they had her play a word-matching game that she really liked, so I thought I would try to make one for her myself. It was also a chance to try out XState.

I wanted each set of words to be easily bookmarkable, so the configuration can all be done in the URL query params.

Technologies used

• React for rendering the UI.
• XState for managing the state of the game.
• Feather for the icons.

Running locally
