Nice!

A few issues on Firefox android:

- keyboard closes after adding each letter so it's a clunky experience

- couldn't delete a letter

- it let me add two letters into the last box of one word

The rules are a bit unintuitive. Definitely surprising that horizontal words don't have to be words.

Also for me a timer is a turn off. Feels unnecessary.

Thanks for the feedback.

You are not the first person to say this, and I am starting to agree. I think that more basic ruleset is more fun and far more intuitive. Especially given the current UI layout. I am going to spin up a new version with that ruleset I think.

Thanks!

Also, the rule that you can't repeat a letter for a position with the horizontal word, or two immediate neighbours is just too...finnicky and arbitrary.

Fun! Fyi, I had an issue backspacing on Pixel 7 backspacing overwriting a letter.

Thanks for letting me know, I will check on it!
