Wow, a scrabble type word game, random letters, I totally get it.
Here's my low effort platformer random submission.

But also, for the recent GitHub jam, I did a pretty powerful scrabble game, try these ones out too, please and thanks!

Iāll give them a look when I have a chance. Thanks for playing!
Really interesting game that sticks to the theme and doesn't bite off more than it can chew.
Interested to see how it performs as I always presumed word games aren't fair to ESL speakers.
It gets frustrating once you get a lot of letters near since their disappearance corrupts the word, and deleting is too slow. Keyboard bounce is forgiven by most games, not by typing ones!
You should maximise your view immediately, don't leave it to the player, I could not find a way to, in fact was there even a menu?
...By the way, I've submitted several word games - These even have other languages
(Scrabble Scramble - English Spanish German)

Thanks for the thoughtful review! Itās definitely very unpolished, with no menu to speak of at the moment (weekend got busy and I had to push whatever I could finish). I will definitely revisit this to polish it up and add some features.
For ESL speakers, Iād also want to find a better dictionary to compare against. I just grabbed a random english word list from online. Would love to support more words and multiple languages!
very fun game it becomes sometimes unfair
Definitely agreed, Iāll work on updating it a little once the voting period is over
cool idea, its fun for a while
Thanks for playing!
Yeah thats really fun!
Thank you!
I'm so bad but when you find a word it's satisfying.
the sound effects are simple but it works well
it was fun
Thank you! The game isnāt balanced well at all, so no need to be hard on yourself. Glad you had fun with it
I'm a sucker for typing games, that was fun!
Hah, me too - thanks for playing!
its awesomeeeeee!
Thanks!!!
what a fun game, thought im not the best at it
In your defense, itās not really balanced at the moment. Glad you had fun with it!
Interesting word game. I have a couple of observations if I may. The initial difficulty is too low. The difficulty quickly overwhelms. I'm sure you have the making of a really enjoyable game here, in the not too distant future.,
Thanks for the feedback! Youāre definitely right about the difficulty - I had a busy weekend so there wasnāt much time to polish this. Once the voting period is over, Iāll see if I can improve the difficulty scaling so it starts a bit faster but doesnāt ramp up so much.
This is so fun! Well done!
Thanks for playing!
