Why "co-founders"? Surely you mean co-players
Heh, it was a jab at my co-founders.

#32nice.. so you put a limit on the number of letters, and shuffle the letters in all possible combinations searching your wictionary. Interesting.
Thanks :) I also order the results based on frequency and I just pushed an update to the site that uses the official word list of "Draw Something".

#33you should consider allowing users to input all the letters into one single input box, might just a little bit less effort for the users =)
You can just keep typing while you're in the first text box :)

I'm glad you noticed that! I added it as a convenience for myself when testing it... and wasn't sure if anyone else would discover it :)

I used the frequency lists from Wikitionary for searching an ranking. They've got the 40,000 most frequent words.
The client downloads the current word list from this URL: http://static.iminlikewithyou.com/drawsomething/wordlist.csv I've been meaning to see if I can run a proxy and substitute my own words. EDIT: I personally use wordplay ( http://hsvmovies.com/static_subpages/personal_orig/wordplay/... ) with the -lx flags on this file when I'm stumped
You can use a proxy and substitute your words. Also take in mind that the format is ,,

Nice! Steve - can you use this word list instead? ( http://static.iminlikewithyou.com/drawsomething/wordlist.csv )
Yep, the site includes that word list now :)

Would be even nicer if the cursor also moved!
Yeah, I played around with that. On the iPhone they disable allowing you to programmatically focus input fields in Safari (from what I could tell). So rather then spend time on a work around, since this was just a fun side project, I figured I'll ship it as is.

#39I tried the word 'parallelogram'. The web page keeps changing 13 letters to 12 letters in the number of letters box then saying it can't find a word.
I've never heard of 'draw something' as a game before so perhaps I'm using a word that isn't allowed or something.
Stuff like this is handy in teaching especially if it works on a mobile phone (blackberry for teenagers, iPhone for colleagues :-)

Fair enough! It's not up on github is it?
