Feels user hostile that there's no retry button. I can delete browser storage but why...

Especially for first time players this is absolutely worst experience. Combined with "game knows better", where even valid choice is incorrect, makes this game not fun.

Hi, there was a bug today for Australian players that was fixed now. Maybe this is your case.

What word is ok and not recognized by the game? We can check and include it.

I 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!

Is 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.

Thanks! Today my spouse had a bug that the demo phrase VALLEY SCENT loaded for the puzzle of the day, and was not able to solve to the actual phrase it was looking for.
