Claude for Chrome (anthropic.com)

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'm on Android and I'd like to be able to slide the letter selector. But when I was coding https://WordGlyph.xyz I found implementing that feature to select the stick challenging.

I hope this helps with feedback.

After having pressed "learn to play" I got to the bit "Give it a try and form the word E N D" but the UI was frozen . I then selected "Exit how to play" but that left the URL unchanged so I was sent back to the start of the tour.

This is on Firefox on Windows.

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.
