- Cool game. Snus isn't in the word list btw
Found six bonus words.
by NDlurker - I enjoyed this and loved the minimal UI, good copywriting, and tasteful animations. My brain gets a little bit stuck on words that I can see but aren’t valid because of a missing connection, but I get that this is one of the main points of the puzzle. Anyway, great job!by sumul
- This was definitely a challenge until I figured out how it works. I originally was confused by the connections and started off embarrassingly slow, but once I got a few words and letters started to disappear, I was able to power through it pretty quickly. A solid game. Suggest adding a timed option so users can brag/compare/share their time.by scamdrill
- Nice game! I found 20 words.
I was a bit stunned by the concept of "bonus words". I found that every word should count. Also because some words are just plural forms (e.g. stroke+s), so kinda cheep?!
Keep ups the good work!
by dpfu - Wow, this post blew up! Thank you everyone for all the helpful feedback. I’ve just deployed a few updates:
I also made a bonus HN themed puzzle as a thanks for all the feedback - https://zanagrams.com/hackernews- Added a short playable tutorial for new players to learn how the game works. - Added a timer below the grid. You can hide this in the settings if you don’t want the extra pressure! - Fixed some bonus words based on your recommendations.by pompomsheep - It’s basically Ribbit from Puzzmo, which is fine because reimplementations let you experiment with different gameplay.by jasonpeacock
