I'm a consultant, podcaster, dad, word game maker, and improviser in New Jersey.

I host a daily podcast called Your Daily Lex. I have a newsletter at https://lexfriedman.com/newsletter. I also co-host The Rebound, Not Playing, and other podcasts.

I post daily word games at https://lex.games — you should play them.

I’m a full-time consultant, and perhaps your company should work with me.

I’m a pretty good mime. That goes without saying.

I’m leading a three hour workshop for a client in person. The company is very casual.

My instinct is to wear a suit, but they’re so casual, I worry it could come off weird.

I could do business casual.

I don’t know. Opinions welcome.

Am I doing release notes right?

I'm pleased to share Lex.Games is now available for iPhone and iPad!

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lex-games/id6498941705

Featuring six daily word games and puzzles, including Conlextions, Lexicogs, By A Vowel, Six Appeal, Letter Opener, and Mind Control.

If you already play Lex.Games on the web and are wondering just what the heck Letter Opener is...

That one is exclusive to iOS for now. And is free for all!

You get a handful of letters as an "opener." You have 90 seconds to find as many words as you can, and the longer the words, the more points they're worth!

While not every game from Lex.Games on the web is in the app yet, many are! Conlextions looks quite lovely. And that shuffle button is a joy — trust me.

Oh, did I mention that the game has a mellow (mutable) soundtrack? It sure does! And the win jingle when you solve a puzzle — like Lexicogs — is worth the price of admission.

(Worth noting: The price of admission is: free. But people tell me they like the jingle!)

I know there are By A Vowel stans out there. Good news: BAV works great in Lex.Games. And as with all the other games, you can see the leaderboard and all the archives, too…

@lexfri@hachyderm.io avatar

Mind Control, like the endless "Rando" versions of Letter Opener and Six Appeal, is limited to paying subscribers. You can subscribe on the web or in the app.

Subscribers also get the ability to appear on the leaderboards, and play a full-size daily crossword puzzle on the web (or in the amazing Black Ink app from @danielpunkass).

@lexfri@hachyderm.io avatar

So: Lex.Games in the App Store! Go get it! Free to a good home.

Many thanks to patient folks who were extremely helpful to me along the way, including...

tech help from
@BenRiceM @caseyliss @jamesthomson @Gte
@gknauss

design magic from @bw

and beta feedback from many folks including @dmoren, @spol, @holgr, @zmk, and many, many others.

It takes a village. Especially given that I had no idea what I was doing.

Maybe it's stagecraft. Maybe it's something else…

OpenAI's sub-30 minute presentation yesterday was more compelling than Google's I/O keynote…and it wasn't even close.

When you see podcast charts and Lex Fridman's Tech Sycophant Hour is in the top slots and maybe we should just hope the aliens nuke us from orbit.
