Ok, I'll be shameless and throw my mine in: https://summit-puzzle.me

Fun! I think having a max-width for the main div would help the UI a bunch, the header stretches my entire screen and the "How to Play" modal is pretty wide. It would also be good to be able to close the modal with the Escape key or by clicking outside of it! Lastly, a "Give up" option might be nice. I love the concept and I think the directions are well-written with helpful images.

Too bad the keyboard doesn't work (Firefox with "Search for text when you start typing" on). They didn't do the "event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation();" dance.

Naturally. You have enabled a setting for Firefox to intercept the keystrokes before the web page even gets a chance to see them. That means the JavaScript to prevent default action would never run.

Not true, the JS _does_ get a chance to prevent the search behavior. It's not a problem with other games.

Fun but seems a bit too easy, but based on the percentage of people getting to 23 it seems okay?

The last word was 7 letters I think? Would increase it to 8/9 letters to really make it hard

I like quick low-stakes browser games like this, something fun and fast to wake up your brain with morning coffee. If interested, here are some others I've come across - Linxicon - build bridges between two words ( https://linxicon.com ) WhenTaken - use clues to guess where and when a photo was taken ( https://whentaken.com ) Angle - guess the exact arc angle ( https://angle.wtf ) Metazooa - deduce the animal species…

Linxicon wasted way too much of my time after you posted this. Great game!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I didn't have this issue in Firefox on macOS. What browser are you using?

Firefox on Linux Mint. Maybe it only impacts my system, or you were in a tab with no history?

I had history. Back button was enabled and clicking it took me back to HN.

Thanks, I'll make those changes
