took me 24 minutes to get all the words without using any deletes, very engaging and really fun, I would have likes a congratulations on the getting all the mandatory words, or perhaps a reroll on them? absolutely brilliant either way, well done :D Screenshot 2023-10-01 160826.png

Managed to get all the words in left without deletes although it took some time. Really great and addictive game.
Very minor suggestions could be to explain that you can also fill in the words vertically or diagonally, which I only understood mid-game - I was about to complete the required word and suddenly my vertical row disappeared (small horror element? ;). Although I see a benefit from this - a need for additional planning and thinking how you put the letters.
Cool idea! Love it

Cool game!
I feel like it gets a little repetitive when I'm trying to make words out of "KCKHZPPKCCKL", where my word just needs another "O" to finish, but I guess that's part of the challenge!
Well done! 😄

Didn't managed to have all the words but it's a great idea (and not that simple as a non-native english) ! Good work !

A simple but fun game, it does include probably a few words that can be a little questionable (colected one of them randomly), but a fun idea, I enjoy!
While the deletes are a useful tool, I think you could have removed "accumulating" deletes as I never really had to use them - and it may make it more challenging. Good job on the jam :)

fun game! cool concept, good execution. i feel like there were way too many vowels lol.
Love it zoned out and got stuck for a while!
Didn't notice any bugs, but I was very surprised when I completed a word in the vertical direction :)
gffghhfg.png It took me a while to put all the words together, especially the letter B which didn't come. Although the theme is there I find that it is more linked to the genre of the game than a desire to introduce it, it's a shame I expected more

@tasakasama I was actually out saturday so I only had sunday to develop, had to think of a really basic idea, and that's what came out.

Nice game, It was nice and relaxing. Struggled to make the objective words as I didnt get the letters for a long time. Nice simple game well executed
I played way too much! I found it satisfyingly hard before I realized you could swap two letters, then it instead became super easy, and the hard part was NOT making words that accidentally use up rare letters you need.
I loved this one. Its so simple, but it kept me hooked for almost an hour. It's brilliant, it captures the theme extremely well, its largely polished. I could see myself trying to get a daily streak going in it similar to the waffle. Great work 😁👍
The game seems to be down, unfortunately :/

Fun game! Took me a minute to realize I could make words that were not the target words - duh. Then I just had to wait forever for j to show up :p
I do feel like I repeated one word, but maybe not. Is it just that they cannot be repeated while they show on the right side?

@mtnpapa They cannot be repeated ever. you can see all words you already have made with the scroll wheel.

Nice game easy to understand and great idee for the theme
I did it! Took me a while but it was a good addictive little word game, used the theme perfectly. Good work!

Lovely game! Very creative use of the theme and simple but fun rules.
It can be a little bit frustrating waiting for the necessary letters to fill the last couple of words. But very satisfying when you finally get them.
Great job making the game!

Very fun game! Feels very much like Wordle. One thing I'll point out is that when the objective words contain rare letters, I had to go through many other words before I can get one of those rare letters, it was taking a little too long.
Strangely addictive game. I played it a couple times already, and will probably bookmark it for future playing

That's amazing thank you 🥰
That was SO fun and addictive, you were able to fit the theme perfectly and I spent quite a while playing it, but WHYYYY is "V" so hard to get? Lol Congratulations on the entry!
Perfectly made game, very fun to play, good mechanichs!
