👤 About the Creator – Ghost
🧠 Who is Ghost?
Ghost is the creator of the Shiritori Bot, a long-running word game project hosted on Discord. Known for obsessively building massive wordlists and crafting a (mostly functional) game system, Ghost has been maintaining and expanding the bot for several years. Originally from El Salvador and currently a second-year high school student based in South Korea, he has a deep passion for computers, language, and of course words.
🔧 How the Bot Was Made
- It all began with a love for the Roblox game Word Bomb—a game Ghost played constantly, even if he wasn’t exactly great at it. What really stuck with him was how limited the word pool felt. Words like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis were excluded, and that didn’t sit right with someone whose spelling was one of their strongest skills.
- Inspired by the idea of having a bot with a powerful dictionary in-hand—an idea that came from the OMG community—Ghost set out to build something better. The first version of his game was a very rough, Python-powered text-based experiment called Word Bomb Skuffed Edition, which eventually housed around 450,000 words.
- With help from friends and external sources, the project evolved into a website called Ghost-Games, hosted on Glitch. That version eventually went offline, but it laid the foundation for what would become the current Discord bot.
- The bot was built using Visual Studio Code (VSCode) and runs with assistance from GitHub. Most of its core functionality was learned and developed through trial, error, and countless YouTube tutorials. Ghost doesn’t really like the idea of using AI to write code—calling it “cheat-ish”—but he did use the built-in AI assistant to help draft messages and responses for the bot’s chat output.
- The biggest challenges? Frustration, technical hurdles, and being a broke high schooler with limited resources. Thankfully, a good friend named Kos now helps run the bot, keeping things online and stable. :3
🧑🤝🧑 Partnerships & Collaborators
- Kos (kos256) – Bot Administrator
- GreenyMage (greenymage) – Graphic Designer
- Beyond that, the project thrives thanks to the small but loyal community that has formed around it. Whether you're actively contributing or just hanging out in the server, Ghost truly appreciates every one of you. This project wouldn’t exist without that support.
