I ended up with some very strange words, like cwms and erer. On the plus side, it taught me what a cwm was, but I still don't know what an erer is supposed to be.

I ended up with some very strange words, like cwms and erer. On the plus side, it taught me what a cwm was, but I still don't know what an erer is supposed to be.
My vocabulary knowledge and recall is truly horrific apparently, but good show.
Was not able to run it. "Not a valid Win32 application". I guess it needs the C# runtime?
Quite hard, the list of words on the right isn't really "user-friendly" :). I'm french so i really can't find some words.
@ReactorScram Yeah, probably you need to install Framework .net 4.5. Sorry :(
Great idea.
I wanted to enjoy this game, but the first word I got was "buss"! Apparently this is an archaic word. Which, while fascinating! is a bit frustrating in this kind of game.
@AnnaGavaldaKedavra @incobalt @epb9000 Yeah, the game is kinda hard and English only. Sorry about that. All words have a definition where the API query it. The problem is that, sometimes, you get abbreviations.
@AnnaGavaldaKedavra What do you mean with "list no user-friendly"? Can you elaborate more, please? Thanks for the feedback. ;)
Can't play windows games. :-(
@Lissar Yeah, it's a random word and we did our best to use the API to make it more easier, but that's it
@jomomomo :( Sorry, man
Some of the words used are quite rare. It seems like if you use the example you can go on almost forever. After some words I got an example that did not include the word but that seems to be the only way to fail with that strategy. Like the idea but it put too high demands on the dictionary used and also many of the words picked I had not ver heard, more common words would be more fun.
Simple but effective. It's a bit hard for me as english isn't my mother tongue :) Ps : the game crashed when I tried to play again
BOOM HIGHSCORE! Anyway, nice job on the game, really cool idea. It seems like the only viable option is to just keep using the example every time. (or at least for me)
Agree with the above, had to buy the example every time. Interesting to see a word game in LD though!
