As a Scramble with Friends addict this is clearly up my ally. I actually find the mouse to be faster because the keyboard is too unpredictable and it's too disruptive to completing a word. There must be something there since I was consistently getting the top score.

My score quadrupled when I switched to keyboard. But I see the word, then type it (at ~80wpm)

#33Very nicely done! Polish up the UI and you this could be a real winner...the game play really works (and that's what really matters).
Makes me think again about updating my game, the original Word Wars (http://www.impulsedriven.com/ww) to the web...
I'd really be interested to hear how the dictionary parser was done.

#34This is awesome and really pretty addictive. Although I was able to type and drag the cursor around randomly and pick up little words like 'pe' or 'th' it almost seemed like a stupid exploit. And another thing is the after game stats are really pretty interesting, if there was a way to view them longer than ten seconds that would be great!

I added it to my todo list to have an option to keep the leaderboard open until you hit close, rather than closing automatically.

#36What does "We see you haven't installed Word Wars" mean? How is a web app 'installed'?
By installed, it just means it's added to your 'library' on clay.io. That way once we have more than 3 games, it will be easy to find the games you have played before and like.

#37Great game! Although there was a problem with the leaderboard. A couple of times the leaderboard showed up only for a fraction of a second and then disappeared. I'm assuming it took too long to load and by that time the next round started.

#38Using FF 9 here, and I'm stuck on the loading/waiting for next round page :(

#39Does it drops high scores fron the leaderboard?
I've got 155, and then it is replaced by 147

I added an option to keep the leaderboard window open.
