I would like a chance to play a puzzle I failed on to just practice what comes next. I don't need rewards or anything after the initial fail. Fun game, thanks for sharing!
Same! I did it by using private browser windows, this way I could see all the words.

#212The 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…

If an uneducated acquaintance of yours was about to name their newborn child "Adolf", would you interject that this name might not be such a great idea?
there's a big difference between Adolf and whatever esoteric garbage this is
(I’m not saying the game needs to change its name.)

#215Thanks 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?
Absolutely, I had to reopen it a bunch of times in incognito to make it to the end xD
Very fun!

#216BUG: I guessed "LATER", but it said - wrong and mentioned "ALERT". The only fix I would make is to ensure that all possible words with scrambled characters make sense. LATER and ALERT are both correct, for text "A E R T L"
Oh it was supposed to be Habit…

#217I would suggest instead of a countdown timer, use time as a score (less time used = higher score) so at least the player can advance. Also it’s no fun and extremely annoying to make the player wait 12 hours for the next challenge, which turns me off to even wanting to play again.

That's not how captchas work...
Please enlighten me on how they work. My understanding is that captchas usually either involve challenges for humans or require proof of work (some computation). I found the idea of this game along the lines of a human challenge.
