• Pretty fun, took me about 10 minutes but found 24 words 10 of them bonus. This was #5 for future viewers.
  • It’s basically Ribbit from Puzzmo, which is fine because reimplementations let you experiment with different gameplay.

    • Came here to say this, Ribbit is a lot of fun, and Puzzmo in general is a really solid site.
  • pretty cool. how are you deciding or generating puzzles ?
  • the score should include how many bonus words you found (out of how many there were in total) and instead of time it should count how many tries you made because technically you could brute force this and try all combinations. counting each try would eliminate that (for anyone trying to get a high score)
  • Cool game. Snus isn't in the word list btw

    Found six bonus words.

  • blfr
    I like that it also handles words that aren't planned in. You get a nice "bonus word" popout.
    • Yeah, I got "TUNS" as a bonus word.
      • Not sure how to vote for it, though.
  • Fun! I like how the puzzle naturally gets easier as you solve it. How do you decide which words to include?
    • Thanks. I use a combination of AI to first score the words by obscurity and then manually decide which ones to include based on this score and my own judgement.

      I then manually test each of the puzzles and throw out any that I feel weren't "fun" to solve for whatever reason

  • Interesting game! Is this an original idea? Is there plan to add "endless" number of zanagrams?
  • There are a couple of games like this on Android I play:

    They're both on FDroid
