Thanks everyone for the feedback! Two questions 1. For a version without the timer what would you like to happen if you are just completely stuck on a word? Hints to reveal letters or skip the word? 2. For those who like the timed version would you prefer to continue when you miss a word and then get a final score out of 18?

#162For 4 letters it's enough time to guess, but I have no idea what they mean: 'Doby', 'Etas'

I'd like more common words? "Baith" is incredibly esoteric.

But I'd like to propose allowing keyboard input. Losing because of your mouse skills in a pattern recognition game is annoying.

#166The 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…
BUT i'd like it if each round started with letters hidden and timer paused in case i need to step away and redirect my attention to something else.

#169The only thing I really don't like, is that each puzzle can only be played once. I would like to figure out all words of a day even if it doesn't count.
This could even be an interesting statistic, how many people finished all words ignoring the time component.

I'm totally fine with the way it works, because, well, it's a game, losing should be losing. I mean, I kinda want to continue, but I'm glad I'm not allowed to. I didn't make it. There will be another chance tomorrow. But I'd like to propose allowing keyboard input. Losing because of your mouse skills in a pattern recognition game is annoying.
