Non-native english speaker here. Any plan adding other languages? I have fun training my vocabulary, but my kids would love a french version :)
Robust UI/UX and well balanced gameplay, thank you!

#363This is such a refresher for the day. Loved playing this.

#364The 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 think Zach Gage (developer of excellent games including Really Bad Chess, Spelltower, etc) says on Adam Conover's podcast that for many people they have difficulty improving at a skill when they have time (or other) pressure Thus, he always includes a relaxed mode to let someone practice without any stress. Incidentally, he realized that some people only ever play in the relaxed mode!

#367Earlier quoted context omitted.
Captchas are usually used to separate humans and bots, typically with something a human can solve but a bot cannot. A bot would have no trouble at all with this game.
I think humans don't behave the same as bots when playing this game.
I think it will be easy for a bot to behave in a way that is indistinguishable from some human you don't want to exclude.

#368Very cool game, well done!
Any plan to have multilingual support? Would love a French version.

#369literally got stuck playing this game for the past 20 mins instead of actually posting my project ahaha good one!
Re: Show HN: 18 Words
#370Fun idea overall. I wouldn't remove the timer because it gives the game its own identity.
