I got caught up while bugfixing and made some other changes. I'm very curious to hear whether it works well for people and happy to tweak things further.

• Added word highlighting where the current word and its columns will be shown in purple. My hope is this makes it easier to focus on the word. It also makes it clear when a word wraps to a new line!
  • I got this idea from Gisnep, an existing daily drop quote puzzle I just learned about! If you're hungry for more drop quote/quotefall puzzles, check them out.
• Fix: the little jiggle when tiles land in a spot is gone! (Maybe nobody noticed it? 🤞) It was due to a slightly off position for the tile drop animation, which is now fixed.
• Fix: tile overwriting bug which could cause letters to be permanently lost, discussed here.

I've also been tweaking the tutorial wording and layout a bit, happy to get more feedback on that. Thanks all! 🙂

Couple more tweaks! I added an arrow on words that wrap to a new line. It gives a clear indicator that the word wraps, and you can tap/click it to jump to the other part of the word. I especially hope this will be useful for folks playing in mobile portrait mode.

Awesome!

And heads up since it's not declared anywhere obvious on the site: the creator of Gisnep made heavy use of ChatGPT and other generative AI for its code, logo, and game design.
