How to play

Solve one full numbered entry per puzzle. Entries containing two words are combined into a single puzzle. Tap the letter tiles or type the answer. Each answer stays visible for 10 seconds, fading during the last 5 seconds; the next puzzle opens after 2 seconds. This applies to correct, revealed, and timed-out answers. Shuffle and hints are always available. The timer is optional.

A sequential word-puzzle journey through the Rama Sahasranama

What this journey is

This is a calm, sequential word puzzle using the project's reviewed list of names of Sri Rama. Players move through the entries in order and arrange the letters of one complete entry in each puzzle. The aim is to offer a small, thoughtful activity—not to replace a text, a form of worship, a translation, or guidance from a teacher within a tradition.

The experience is intentionally simple. There is no account to create, public score to share, or leaderboard to join. You can solve one puzzle, stop, and return to the same browser later to continue your journey.

How each puzzle works

Each puzzle is based on one numbered source entry. If an entry contains two words, both words belong to that same puzzle; they are not treated as separate names. Tap the letter tiles to build the answer or type it, then check your response. If the first attempt is not right, you can try again.

The shuffle button rearranges the available tiles. A first-letter hint shows the opening letter, and the reveal option displays the full entry. These tools are there to help you keep going; using them or setting them aside is entirely up to you.

Move at your own pace

The journey does not depend on a daily reset or a timed session. You progress in sequence and can return whenever you like. The optional 30-second timer is off by default. If you turn it on, time is counted separately for each puzzle; with the timer off, you can consider the letters without a countdown.

After a correct answer, a revealed answer, or a timeout, the answer remains visible briefly before the next puzzle opens. This gives you a moment to see the solution while the journey continues in order. You can use the experience as a light game, a letter exercise, or a quiet pause.

Transliteration and language

The interface is available in English and Hindi. In the English game, names appear in Latin letters; the Hindi game uses the available Devanagari forms. Transliteration here is a way to make the puzzle playable. Sanskrit names may be written differently across editions and traditions, so no single Roman spelling should be assumed to be definitive for every reader.

Letter order matters when checking an answer. English matching can normalize capitalization and diacritic marks, but it does not make a different name correct. In Hindi, meaningful Devanagari marks and conjuncts are preserved.

A note about the text

The project maintains a reviewed working list of 1,018 entries and spellings for this release. Sanskrit texts can vary across published recensions; this game presents the project's selected forms and is not a critical scholarly edition.

If you need a dependable text for study, recitation, or worship, consult a trusted published edition or a knowledgeable teacher in your tradition. When suggesting a correction, include the entry number and a reliable reference so it can be reviewed.

Your progress and privacy

Your journey position and optional timer preference are stored in this browser’s local storage. The site has no account, leaderboard, or advertising, and there is no application backend receiving game progress. Clearing local browser data may remove the saved position; private browsing or disabled storage may prevent progress from being saved.

Milestones break a long sequence into smaller moments. They do not claim a religious achievement or spiritual result; they only describe progress through the puzzles. You can pause the journey wherever it feels right for you.

What this experience does not provide

This initial version does not provide name meanings, pronunciation recordings, detailed linguistic notes, or claims of spiritual benefit. Expanding the list just to target search terms would not serve readers well.

The focus is a straightforward, accessible word puzzle: one entry, one answer, and your own pace.
