Thanks for taking the initiative to create this page! I was disappointed with the search feature github had regarding searching these type of files. Here are some more such tools I feel you might find interesting (or most likely you might already know them) but might be worth having in a single place as a list. Nash is stand alone note as HTML.

I labeled each game with the target grade level (from TK up through middle school, and even high school for Spanish). I've wanted to bring this style of educational game back to life for a long time. In the early 90s, my grandmother had a Macintosh with educational games. She was a teacher who specialized in teaching reading. She showed me how to play Word Munchers and I had a blast munching words with the right vowel sounds. Wolfers games should look good on phones, iPads, and can also be installed as progressive web apps on your home screen. I recently found a simpler way to make PWAs thanks to this minimal-pwa[0] project (via HN). I made this a bit more dynamic and

self-contained in Wolfer's pwa.js and added offline PWA support in sw.js. I go as far as to dynamically generate the icon for each game variant using JavaScript.
