This took me a bit to get into it, but once I did, I enjoyed. As someone who isn’t the best at spelling, I appreciate games that can make spelling fun. I’ve played games were you are given a single word, or just a group of letters, and told to make as many words as possible. Being given a quote to work from was a cool way to do it. I didn’t acknowledge it at first, but, when I did, I really liked that you were limited to the number of each letter in the quote. It rewarded trying to make longer and higher scoring words early on, but still let me make easier words instead of just sitting and staring at the set of letters.
I also greatly appreciated the different difficulty settings. I lost my first round on normal, so went to easy to better figure out how best to play and get myself into the right headspace to focus on spelling. After a couple of plays on easy, I went back to normal and won.
The background feels a little busy, making it a little difficult to read the quote. I realized that it was better to wait until the end of the round to try to read it than try to read it at the start. The sound started rather quiet, though was nice after I turned the volume up, and, in all honest, it’s better to err on the side of quieter and let folks turn it up over too loud to start.
I think you did a good job of making a fun spelling game.
