Its made using create-react-app and source code is on Github. Please play and give suggestion to improve this. Thanks.

The game works great on mobile.

But I have no idea how to win or what the rules are? I assume a full row of letters will clear the row?

I was expecting words to come down, but there were only letters.

Maybe add a little help screen when the game starts, to show the rules of the game.

Hi I'm the creator of http://wordsmashing.com , awesome game, needs some music graphics sounds levels polish ect, I think it's interesting having to manually click to your word and click destroy, made the game feel a bit harder and slower paced to me but perhaps some advanced wordies would like that, I would make it automatic if 3 or more letters

It's completely broken on desktop in Firefox - they're rectangles and the letters fall outside the boxes one settled, so I can't tell an L from an I without memory. Also, the buttons move at the bottom when you tap on letters so it makes it hard to press them. Consider mapping the arrow keys on a keyboard.
