Well, this game is really entertaining!

But there are some things I consider rather strange:

  • At least two letters are removed, but it finds two-letter words. So the game removes MMM because mm is the abbreviation for millimeters.
  • Abbreviations of some organization names are recognized, but not even common names (like Tim).
    It recognizes OR as an abbreviation for Oregon, but not USA. That's strange!
  • Sometimes, whole words are generated as parts of the tetromino; e. g. you get AACE and the ACE part is removed immediately.

Also, I would like more freedom and strategic choices. Rotating the tetromino would be nice or some way to sometimes regroup some letters.

Thanks! ❤️

Yeah the two letter words shouldn’t count. There is some discrepancies between by dictionary file and the API I use to get the definitions. So no clue on what the MMM in the dictionary is referring to but for some reason the definition when querying with it returns millimeters.

Names missing is just a dictionary thing. I’d gladly add the names to the dictionary if I can find a decent list. Shouldn’t be too hard.

Yup, tetromino rotating would be cool I think. Sure it would also increase the complexity when placing the blocks and finding words but would also help the end game not be so luck based. I was of course thinking about it since it’s the classic tetris way but was kinda afraid of the added complexity. Quite a few people have already mentioned the lack of it so I’m quite sure it’s something I’ll at least toy around with after the jam rating period is done. Maybe could be its own ”game mode” with separate leaderboards or something. Would be easy enough to ensure that blocks do not contain any ready words too.

Thanks again for playing and the feedback!
