It's zooming in and out of the page while I'm trying to play. iPhone x Safari
suggestions -
- bigger grid, more rows and columns
- larger letters, more contrast

Someone will polish this up and it will be one of those mobile games that will go viral for a little while.
Suggestions, add a comprehensive scoring solution, two letter combos (ng, io, ee, etc), classic tetris shapes would probably work too in blocks of three to keep the two letter combo rule.
Nicely done!
I noticed the game feels pretty hard because of the letter distribution, if you want to make it easier you might try using the english distribution, which can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency#Relative_freq... For those curious the rough differences (in game - in english, out of 100) are: e: -4.7 t: -2.5 c: 2.4 h: -2.3 p: 2.3 u: 1.9 b: 1.6 m: 1.6 l: 1.5 g: 1.4 r: 1.4 k: 1 x: 1 z: 0.8 o: -0.7…

Let me see the next letter after this one.
Let me hold onto a letter and swap it with the current one on the screen.
I appreciate it's a big complexity problem to scan for all available words but I think that the click functionality could be improved a lot by just highlighting words that you'll allow me to destroy.
