Background

(What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)
Being non-native english speaker, I love this game. It challenges me for my english vocabulary. I play this game a lot. I always work in JS Stack. But this hackathon motivated me to try another stack outside JS. So, I built this game using FARM stack.

How I built it

(How did you utilize MongoDB Atlas? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)
I stored all the words for my game in the MongoDB Atlas Database. I learned how to use MongoDB with Python. I learned FastApi and Python during this hackathon.

Frontend --> React
Backend --> FastApi
Database --> MongoDB Atlas
Deployment --> Vercel
