    Wow this is pretty hard. I usually do well with word games, this one not so much. I may have just dodged being nerdsniped if I can just let it go.

    I loaded the puzzle and was presented with an empty 7 character prompt. I tried typing in three different seven-letter words, and each time I hit "GO", I was told the word was "Not in the word list".

    With no further guidance given, I closed the tab.

      Had a similar issue, several of my words weren't accepted.

    Cool in principle, but I had an awful lot of trouble finding 7 letter words on the wordlist.

    I recently did the same (made a daily game) and I am approaching 100k plays since March. https://plot-hole.com - the best thing so far about this app has been the analytics which you can check out here: https://plot-hole.com/daily-analytics-82u4fhrvw

    I think a practice mode, or letting people play the older games would be good. I can think of a few older people who would love this, but would definitely need a few tries to get the hang of it.

    I agree with everyone else who’s commented up to this point. But I’ll say what they’re saying more clearly: it’s a bit too difficult. I love the idea though.

    No archive of previous games?

    Looks good. What's with the submit buttons being put on the left on virtual game keyboards, even though Return/Enter usually on the right on typical keyboards. Wordle also does this.

      Having the backspace on the left would probably mess up most mobile typers' muscle memory, and since that key is pressed once vs backspace which might be pressed multiple times, it would be a sensible tradeoff to keep submit on the left side

      I struggled with an input box for the first month on my game, Apple and its crazy UI/UX. I think you made the right choice with the keyboard.

    I don't get it. I type a word and nothing happens?

      There's "Go" button in lower left corner

    I like the idea but it takes a lot of thinking power that I have to come up with actual words that long each time.

    this feels like a fun premise!

    As feedback, I think I'd enjoy it more with shorter words or more guesses
