#52Nice game! I found 20 words. I was a bit stunned by the concept of "bonus words". I found that every word should count. Also because some words are just plural forms (e.g. stroke+s), so kinda cheep?! Keep ups the good work!
"bonus words" are often obscure or embarrassing in some way, so you're not required to find them to win

#53Having made a word game myself[0], this was highly entertaining! Thanks :)
What dictionary are you using?

#56Fun. I could see myself playing this while on the train, etc.

#57Very satisfying puzzle!

#58I enjoyed this and loved the minimal UI, good copywriting, and tasteful animations. My brain gets a little bit stuck on words that I can see but aren’t valid because of a missing connection, but I get that this is one of the main points of the puzzle. Anyway, great job!
Re: Show HN: Zanagrams
#59the score should include how many bonus words you found (out of how many there were in total) and instead of time it should count how many tries you made because technically you could brute force this and try all combinations. counting each try would eliminate that (for anyone trying to get a high score)
You might make a wrong guess add a little penalty time to the clock.
I agree that the "share" representation should include the number of bonus words found. Or just the triple of "total words / tries / wall-clock time."
It would also make sense to share some kind of metric for "how early did you find the longest word."
