I used to win spelling bees in school, but I played the entire archive on this game and my highest score was 6/18.
Maybe it has to do with the balance between audio and visual learning. Spelling bees are spoken words in, letters out -- not letters in, words out. When trying to solve these, I kept trying to sound out different orderings of letters, maybe that's not how good players do it?
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?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Keyboard input should work!
I wondered about this because I used a keyboard to do it. But then I thought maybe krick used mobile and there's no onscreen keyboard. But then I realized that krick said mouse skills and so is probably on a desktop. I think maybe just some graphical indicator that you can type would be helpful for first time users.
Anyway, doesn't matter, it was totally my mistake, everything works for me as well as for everyone else.

2. Yes being able to continue would be great, it's frustrating that the game just stops.
Great work anyway!
The 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…
The timer kills this for me too. Maybe if it counted up I would be less annoyed by it. I like how the NYT does it with their crossword app. If you complete it under some threshold you get a gold star but there's no upper limit on the time.
I much prefer this way, personally at least.
This could be a cool captcha challenge (without the timer).
That's not how captchas work...

Some kinds of brains must just not be good at this kind of game. I used to win spelling bees in school, but I played the entire archive on this game and my highest score was 6/18.

A re-scramble button would do wonders for me like in that Spelling Bee game on NYTimes.
Would be nice to have a ‘scramble!’ button so it makes it slightly easier when we get stuck
The ones I get stuck on are so obvious once the word is revealed that just a reshuffle of the letters would help.
Maybe give the player 3 chances to re-scramble the letters.
what made you go with 18?
