This is very well implemented for being cobbled together in a couple of hours. Love the title font omg. Being a non-english speaker, it was enfuriating seeing the host pull absolutely definitively made-up words out of his a**. I scored 5-6 points/round consistently tho so I am happy.
I wish the vowels could repeat in the string.(i am under the impression they cant)
I also wish i would just get a string of 6 consonants and 3 vowels and type, not sure why I get to choose how many of each i get.
All in all cool game, thank you for making it!
+Please rate my game I made all the art and am somewhat prout of it :)

That's very kind, thank you so much! Yeah I have had a couple of comments saying that the host words didn't seem to be valid, so I'll be looking into why that is happening and fixing it for the next release - thank you so much for flagging it here though, I really appreciate the feedback!
I based the letter generation on the original ruleset for the inspiration format, but I'll be adding a random selection function for the next release to speed up play and make it a bit more accessible.
Thanks so much for taking the time to play and for leaving such great feedback, massively appreciate it!
(PS. had a busy day with work, but your game is on my list to play and review today!)
Thank you for the reply :)
Just to be clear, when I called out the host for using imaginary words, I was overexagerating in an attempt to be funny :)
I think the host is insanely strong right now, often finding words so far outside the normal english dictionary I am often left dumbfounded. I will likely never beat it. It would be fun to have difficulty options where the host had a random chance to pick a suboptimal word. That being said I didnt try the drunk game mode, maybe thats exactly what it is :)
Have fun making games!
