Felt the exact same fog as when I played TR-49 (laudatory). The thoughtful touches on the interface made interaction for non-deducers possible: the lists, the hints, the counters, the string constructors. I wouldn't be case-sensitive in the input, but otherwise playing was smooth. Hard to bring up said influences because then it feels like we can compare, which is unfair, but the clue variety meant that brute forcing was viable. And for a brute like me that's a problem, but you can't design around such ferality.
