#2A couple of weeks ago, my friends and I built a word game during a hackathon and got a great reception from people who played it. Previous HN thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3750068
My friends have cleaned up a lot of the UI and the code, and have published it under a new name. It uses now.js in the backend, and is all html5/js. Let me know what you think!
The game works well on mobile devices too. iPad has the best experience :)

#3Cool game. FYI, when you visit the site using IE9 it just remains stuck at "Loading".

Fixed! I actually made the fix a few hours ago, but forgot to transfer to where the live game is :/ Thanks for pointing it out!

Were you able to play on other browsers? We have been told that happens on some Android devices as well. We are looking into it right :/ Thanks for pointing it out!

Good work. You fixed my biggest complaint with the last version (not disabling default backspace behaviour). The "Or just use your name" option is something I really appreciate. I almost left when I didn't see it at first, so you may want to consider making it a little more obvious.

#8Just sunk about 30 mins into this. NYT Magazine last Sunday had an article (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/08/magazine/angry-birds-farmv...) about "stupid games" that are highly addictive. Case in point.

Thanks! Yeah we made sure to tackle (I think) all the complaints of the previous version.
I just tweaked the font of the "Or just use your name" to be less gray, hopefully that makes it stand out a bit more.

#10Really super buggy...using Chrome on Mac 10.7...letters get stuck all the time, sometimes keys don't register...needs work, but looks like an addictive concept, if I could make it through one round without it misregistering my keystrokes...
