#375Very cool game - the timer put the pressure on quick! Have you thought about about enabling the ability to slide between letters like how you can on a mobile keyboard? This would make it a lot quicker and intuitive from my perspective

#376In Safari, refreshing the page will reorder the letters. I discovered this by accident.

#377Would be nice to have a ‘scramble!’ button so it makes it slightly easier when we get stuck
In Safari the refresh page button does this--found by accident.

#378love the game, the timer adds the stress, I also think that you could add a multi-player option, so we can play with our friends:)

#379Thanks everyone for the feedback! Two questions 1. For a version without the timer what would you like to happen if you are just completely stuck on a word? Hints to reveal letters or skip the word? 2. For those who like the timed version would you prefer to continue when you miss a word and then get a final score out of 18?
Nice! I don't mind the timer at all. A couple of suggestions: 1) if a chosen letter in the word is correct but the word itself is wrong it would be nice if the correct letter(s) is/are highlighted. For example, I had a couple letters in "calendar" correct but the word was wrong and it may have been good to know I was on the right track. 2) I didn't see a 'clear selection' option. This would have been useful. I saw the word with a few seconds left but didn't have time to reset and then time ran out.

#380Nice! I think a big part of the success-to-fail-ratio is Subitizing. Interestingly, whenever I failed, the correct answer felt totally obvious - and I wonder how this observation relates to frame semantics theory? And not being native english speaker (as you, reading my comment, may have noticed) makes this harder, but still an exciting game.
What is subitizing?
You now good old google, still, right?
