A name called Silmadi

2026-08-31 · Observations

The first game has a new name.

Through development it went by Cellumo. The name had become dear, but a check before release showed it could collide with another name elsewhere, and a new name seemed better than carrying that risk.

Silmadi. Sil is from silmari, the Korean word for the loose thread that unravels a mystery, a clue; madi is the word for a joint, and for a cell of a grid. A match gives a clue instead of points, and the clues settle the cells one by one. What the game does became its name. Maybe it should have been this from the start.

Nothing else changes. Silmadi is in review on Google Play now, and once it passes it will be on Android.
