#12Hi everyone, I am glad that people are enjoying playing Shrinkle.
I appreciate all your feedback and I am working to improve the experience.
Thanks
Re: Shrinkle – Shrink words, find hidden phrase
#13Would it be possible to have 3-4 words and you have to make sure that each word you produce results in a valid phrase? So not only the final phrase makes sense, but you have to navigate through a path of valid phrases.
This way you might remove a letter from different words and have to think ahead to decide if the result would remain coherent in order to avoid an error.
The computational complexity of identifying phrases that can be reduced like this while having a coherent path might increase rapidly.

#14My only confusion was when I’d correctly reduced one word to the required for the phrase, but didn’t get any feedback that it was correct. I didn’t understand why it wouldn’t accept my “valid” shorter word

#15I find it very funny that somebody domain parked shrinkle.com and thinks they can get $6695 for it.

#16The "how to play" demo animation should show two words to demonstrate the "hidden phrase" feature
Agreed. I thought you had to find two words within one.

#17It is unsatisfying to find a removal that leads to a valid word but be told it's "wrong".

#18Lots of people seem to complain that it's too easy but as a non native speaker it was too hard for me and it felt super frustrating cause you can't retry or see the solution

#19I love the idea but when I tried to reduce "SCARFS" to "CAR" (the right answer) it rejected my choice of S, but let me select the other letters. Looks like a bug. Clean it up and I would love to play more!

#20Is it broken today? Seems like getting to the "solution" isn't working for anyone... even if you get 3 errors it just doesn't tell you the correct answer.
