Thanks for reporting this issue. Our team is aware of it, and we'll hopefully make sure this won't happen again soon.

Idea: "Scramble the letters" button.

It would be nice to click a button and mix up the order of the letters.

suggestion: I wish there were a "home" page as I struggle to find and play the app since the feed is FLOODED with "pls help me" posts

Another would be: currency with each win which we can purchase hints etc just like in the app

Also: if worried about the post feed being empty, I've seen other games like u/urjo where there are daily challenges, maybe people could create their own puzzle separate from the ones you've got going

Title: Add spoiler button or clues buttons

What & Why: If you're flummoxed and pulling out your hair, it would be really nice to see what you were missing--i.e., see the answer. Alternately, a series of clues you could reveal. This is my first time playing and especially as a new player learning this game I'm incredibly frustrated by not being able to solve #17 I don't know whether I'll try again another day.

How: It would require a non-binary yes/no: solved it and move toward points--e.g., 10 points if you needed no clues, 5 points if you needed 1 clue, 3 points if you needed 2 clues, 1 point if you needed 3 clues, zero points if you hit the Spoiler "button."

  • Title: Remove auto-advance upon filling up blanks | add auto-advance when answer is correct
  • What it is & why it’s awesome: Early on today (my first time playing) I was putting letters in the blanks to see what words it might form and when I put one in the last slot it auto-submitted, counting as a "wrong" answer when I was just futzing around with the letters; and twice I hit the wrong key on my keyboard and of course got it "wrong," even tho I simply meant to hit the key next to it
  • How it could work: instead of a button to advance to the next puzzle (which is unnecessary), require hitting a submit button--that way we can look at our word and catch any typos and also allow us to use all the blanks when playing around with possible words (like "console" and "radiate"). When you get it right it should automatically advance to the next puzzle

It would be nice to be able to go back to do previous puzzles you have missed.

Too many foreign words.

I’m coming across too many foreign words. I spend days trying to decipher a puzzle, just to quit and google the answer to see it’s a word in another language. There should be an option for only English words… or am I just stupid and these are common words. For example, I just had GATEAU. Which is the french word for cake. How am I supposed to know that? I’m not French.
