#2This is great! I've been looking for an alternative to this for a while: https://g1.globo.com/jogos/dito/
This is definitely the kind of game I'd play on a flight.

#3It seems to disallow valid words made with the same letters, which doesn't feel fair. (I don't want to spoil an answer, but -- especially when the word it insists on is arguably French!)

#4I opened the tab in the background and when i got around to it later somehow i lost the game.... i think you need an official "start" button to prevent this.

#5Reminds me a little of contact (https://www.ludozofi.com/home/games/contact/)

#6Really rewarding keyboard UX on this. Typing felt great. I couldn't figure out how to shuffle or give up via the keyboard. Shuffle with escape would make sense.

#8It reminds me of Wordflower. I like this! With one caveat:
The word games that have been posted in the last few days feature a timer component, and it's game over when you miss the timer. I think they'd be more rewarding if it weren't sudden death. Instead it should just let you play through and give you a score out of 5. Especially if it is going to pick obscure words (as another commenter says - arguably one word isn't English and that feels like a bad reason to "lose").

More feedback:
- I was intently staring at letters and didn't notice you get a definition as a hint! Maybe the hint UI needs a tweak.
- it needs to allow permutations that are also words, or at least provide an additional reward for finding those (maybe an extra half point).
- there should be a "clear" button next to shuffle.
- there should be a "pause" button which hides everything and stops the timer. My waitress came by as I was playing and I lost.

#10The staggered entry animation of the letters on page load is lovely. The typing also felt rewarding.
Bit of feedback, should the timer pause when reading the how to play or opening settings?
