Interesting take on a puzzle game, I enjoyed it! Would love to see more puzzles with other words.

I got very confused at what the rules where. It might be nice to have more of a tutorial/hints on the first few puzzles.

I couldn't get past this :thinking:

Looks really nice though :thumbsup:

*Edit: I've just got the fact you can move more than one at a time :face_palm: *

Enjoyed it! Interesting take on the theme and the puzzles were challenging.

Neat game! It took me a while to get a hang of the puzzles, but it's really impressive how much variety you managed to get, considering the initial state was always "nothing."

Great concept, fun word game

Takes some getting used to, but this is really cool. A great combination of a word game and a spacial puzzle.

@kazatan this was also a problem for my playtester; I think the constraint of always starting with 'nothing' was a big problem in putting together a level to teach the idea.

I went so far as to put support for help text into the engine, but decided to comment it out because I'd rather show than tell. (Look in '[levels.js](https://github.com/ixchow/gridwords/blob/master/levels.js)'.)

I got really confused by the rules... perhaps a bit more feedback about what's happening to make a move illegal would help. Also I agree that the theme interpretation is clever, but the word "nothing" might be making your first level(s) a bit more difficult that ideal.

I'm not that great of a scrabble player but this is really quite the interesting puzzle game. Certainly makes great use of the theme and is pretty fun. Personally I'm not one for word games most of the time but this was pretty enjoyable to try and struggle my way through a couple puzzles.

interesting word game，nice idea！

This was a fun entry! I don't think I *quite* understood the rules, sometimes I would think the tiles should move because I have valid words but they wouldn't. Despite that I made it to the 'Crawlers' level.

Overally I really liked this entry!
