I like it! I think I'd like a summary at the end of words I got wrong.

That's a cool suggestion. I think that will definitely be a useful addition. -Thanks

It would be great if the summary had all the 5 words, so that I can review their definitions at the end. Some of my correct answers could have been educated guesses, but I'd still like to learn the definitions of those words.

Good design, simple interface, fun to play. I see you are trying to keep it feature minimal at first. My thought after I finished a game: I would like to send a message to opponent, say good game, and let them know I'm a native English speaker.

Thanks for your comments. Agree, chat feature between players would be interesting.

Are you aware of any libraries for this? Something like intercom which allows integrating chat between players in an easy plug to play manner?

It's great game! I would like to see share to social networks after game. Also "social logins".

Thanks for the feedback. Android version has a share feature which allows you to share the generated code with your friends.

Additionally, a feature to share score/game result will be fairly easy to implement and helpful.

I'm not, haven't done much mobile dev, but maybe someone else will chime in?

Nice! Even as a native speaker it's fun :) Would love a French version too

Thanks :)

We are thinking of integrating Quizlet. Quizlet has very rich content. Eg. https://quizlet.com/1321499/essential-french-vocabulary-flas...

It can add a lot of flexibility to the game and our users will be able to challenge each other on a variety of themes.

So happy to do 5/5 as a non-native speaker!

Tips: it is obviously for mobile, but for computer it is almost unusable. Max-widths and all, then `cursor: pointer` for the answers would go a long way.

Also, a chat or a way to play another game with the same person would be nice.
