tbh this should accept all dictionary matches
Did you find a word that wasn't accepted you thought should be? I do have another version where it accepts ANY word but I found it quite unsatisfying when I survived by randomly spamming combinations and finding a really obscure word. So am currently running it against a 20,000 word wordlist instead of my larger 300,000 wordlist

#45The timer makes it not enjoyable for me. It seems necessary to the game design and I’m not being negatively critical. Just sharing an additional perspective. I’ve been playing Zanagrams and the ability to hide the clock really improved my enjoyment of that game. If I could magically get a feature by request, it would be to give me infinite time even if that meant my score came with an asterisk. Maybe just call it Rel…
Yep, instead of feeling like a fun puzzle the timer just adds unnecessary pressure and gets me really annoyed.

My guy that’s the whole point of the game. Otherwise it’s too easy

300,000? The Oxford dictionary only contains 171,000!
