Reminds me a lot of a Tetris-with-words game called Puzzlejuice that was put out a few years ago by the same studio that released Threes and started the 2048 craze. Good job!

Speaking of 2048, I made a clone called "words-oh-so-great" [1,2] that uses letters instead of numbers, and they disappear when forming a word.

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

That looks interesting, but I don't understand how to play. I click a letter, then click a box to slide into in order to get it closer to my target space but after sliding once the game stops.

This is an awesome prototype, that I think not only has a lot of potential in terms of growing it into something people would play, but I think it could be a very useful tool for people learn languages and improve their skills.

It's inspiring, seriously. Good work so far, and I hope you continue to develop it and are successful for whatever your definition of "success" might be :)

Ah nice work!! I’m also working on a word game for my kids. Also using CRA! https://nora.now.sh

Already seen:) its nice.

I'd be curious to hear about your experiences/challenges. I really liked the loading/splash screen.

I tried the PWA/offline mode on Safari/iOS but that's not working right now.

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.

Reminds me of Klax.

Hi, Thanks everyone for amazing response.

I just updated it with some most common issues fixed.

1) Now select letters in any order, if its a valid word then it will disappear.

2) Now showing next letter in upper right corner

3) Fix issue which was blocking keyboard events

4) Fixed it on Firefox.

And added some colors to buttons:)

Thank you once again. Cheers!

Create various difficulties with speed and an amounts of wild cards.

I got really bored and quit when it dropped me a bunch of letters that couldn't be made into words in any order.

The interface is also shit. Holding down the down button (I'm using a mouse) should just drop it.

The cubes feel much to big.

Extra fun could be had if one could rotate the u into an n, the Z into an N, the p into a d, q into a b and I into H.
