Hey I just released my first word game ever, Step-Ups. https://bencrooks.itch.io/step-ups

It's a word game about creating words from the letters of larger words. (See below)

It was an interesting experiment, taking something quite simple and having to explain it as a new mechanic.  I think the difficulty lies in that the audience for a game like this (word games) does not typically understand the flexible nature of games. So I spent a decent amount of time on the tutorial.

The game ended up quite "thinky", but a fin puzzle. Let me know your thoughts!
