HN Discussion:
  • ~The timer detracts from enjoyment; a relaxed/untimed mode would improve the experience
  • ~Players should progress through all 18 words with a cumulative score rather than losing early
  • A shuffle/scramble button would help players break out of mental locks on letter pairings
  • The game has bugs or unfair word choices, like rejecting valid anagrams or using obscure slang
  • The game reveals interesting cognitive/linguistic patterns, especially for non-native speakers
