Show HN: Word Slicer – browser word game (follow-up, looking for feedback)

I shared Word Slicer here a while back — it’s a free, ad-free, browser-based word game where you try to find 5 words in 5 minutes. Since then I’ve been improving it (daily challenge archive, cleaner UI, better stats), and I’d love more feedback from the HN crowd. In particular, I’m interested in thoughts on the gameplay flow, design/UX, and what would make it more engaging.

I found myself trying to drag the vertical bars initially. It took awhile to discover that I could simply click the letter to select it. Unfortunately I am tutorial averse.
