Very fun and I loved the UI. Just wish I could have played the rest of the words ("photo" got me out)

Re: Show HN: 18 Words
#252Thanks 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?
The timer seems essential to the gameplay. If I can’t get the word in thirty seconds, I lose. That’s how word games with hourglasses worked in board boxes for years. The scoring system is fine. This is a tightly designed game and it would be less enjoyable if it catered to any other needs than went into its design.

Haha I've never heard of this but lucky i went with 18
in good faith, you went with a number. had it been 14 you would have a torrent of ill will where no excuse or response would have been sufficient in the minds of those who fail at life. We must secure equal forgiveness for the people and the future inadvertent online mistakes.

#257Great little game, thanks! I found I'm terrible at the vowel heavy words like audio and ideal, interesting.

What is your point with this comment?
Do you think this cute little word game is white nationalist? Do white nationalists have claim on all "(number) words" names?

#260The 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…
I love the timer. It’s the closest game to ThruLine I’ve come across (that’s a compliment).
