I think it's a fun game I made it about half way so this might not have everything it should
it looked very simplistic because it doesn't need to be any more complicated
there are many things out there with similar concepts so I wouldn't say it's a creative idea
but I enjoyed the game it was really hard and getting an answer to it was really fun
Nice little word game!
Could you please explain how the grade and score are calculated?

Roll in OneThanks! Yea unfortunately I had no time to give more feedback on that
So you get +2 point for each green, +1 for each blue letter and -1 for each red one, but there is no actual calculation for the grades yet... so I just hard coded what I think it the best point score you can get for each level and give you an A+ for that
A fun little game! I like how the colours of the words acted as immediate feedback on the validity of the word

Roll-A-DictionIt's pretty great! It's like anagram but I have to think about how to balance out my vowel usages between words. There's a couple of words that the word bank can't recognize though (like "overzealous")

DiceromancyYeah choosing a dictionary was pretty tough, most of the ones I found had words like "aaa" or weird abbreviations in them which would've made it kinda easy... so I deliberately choose a dictionary with only common words in it, but for the future I would definitely search for alternatives or expand it
Good fun! Agree with some of the other comments that a tutorial could go long way, but once I got over that hump I really got into it!

Get Rich or Die TryingI like word games this was one of them. Some small additions would make it better like sounds but overall nice game.

Die ChamberNice little word game, as a non-native speaker I couldn't get past level 16 where the words you have to dice are getting quite long!

Dice Catch!This game… certainly is. It doesn’t really match the theme (you dice words, I guess, but the only “rolling” is the randomize button that I only used a handful of times), and the word puzzles get downright absurd (I quit around “Dice at least one word, with at least 11 letters”– are you kidding me?), but it’s a neat concept in and of itself.

Dice Monster: Gambler's Fallacyinteresting idea! First thought is that I'd like to see a tutorial or at least a clearer description of what "dicing" is. Something like, "Form new words from the letters".
I did feel like the puzzles were too open-ended for my taste. Branching off, I wonder if there's a variation where, for example, you know the starting letters of two words and you have to fill in the rest. Or, the goal is to make new words, as big as possible, with the least number of modifications.

Keep On FoldingIt is a pretty intereting game, but I am non-native English speakers and I cant pass level 4.
