I need some help! 🚨

Would any of my handful of followers on here like to try beta-testing a new game for me?

It's a word puzzle; you have 100 seconds to find as many words as possible that fit the letters/blanks you are given. As time goes on, there are more words available for you to find.

If you get a chance to play, let me know if anything doesn't work, or looks wrong.

The game has no name yet, but here's the dev server:

@RobOusbey what if, on mobile, you didn't have to type the whole word out each time, just the missing letters. Better or worse UX? Maybe you already tried it?

@randfish I think that could be interesting. I did it this way for now to let people swipe full words on their phone keyboard, but I do like the idea of just typing the missing letters - which is more like how crossword apps usually do things.

I'll give it a try!

@RobOusbey @randfish This is the problem I had. I kept trying to type just the missing letters and so I misspelled words because I couldn't stop doing that

@everywhereist @randfish I updated it last night based on this feedback! 😊 Now you just type the missing letters, and it's much faster to get words in.

Funnily enough I just tried it and my only complaint was going to be that I kept trying to write the whole word instead of just the missing letters so I kept making nonsense words. Also sometimes I forgot I had to press enter.
