Ha maybe I am just very bad at word games but I couldnt get past the first screen I could not think of a word that used AEVHM and started and ended with the same letter. But I liked the concept, my fiance plays something similar on the phone. It would be nice to have a tutorial to help me out and the font was a little tough the V looks like a Y, maybe it is a Y. Not sure.
I'm bad at word games in general, but I like this concept. The letters were a bit confusing sometimes with the font.
Interesting concept but as others mentioned maybe clearer font would improve it. Took me embarassingly long to realise that it is an C and not a bracket. Imagine my confussion :D Netherless great job!

I love the idea, but I only got the second one by accident and I'm completely stumped on the third one.
Finished all the puzzles! I'd love to have a dailies version of this. It would be nice if the first letter could have a little dot or indicator that I've already started a word because I tried to type the first letter twice a few times. Big fan of wordy puzzle games and I think this nails that vibe! Extra fun that sometimes there's more than one answer. Thank you for sharing!
Like the idea. I suck at anagrams nevermind looping anagrams, so only got past first two entries.
Some indication of whether you are on the right track or not may be useful, though not sure how to do that without flipping it to being too easy.

As others I had problem with the font. I thought the C was bracket, I had to come back here and check the comments. The idea however is excellent. So a bit of a cleanup and you've got a great game!

Yeah! More word games!
I liked this quite a bit. It was well executed and I enjoyed figuring out the words.
Nice idea, but it was far to hard for a non English speaker to figure out. But that was me failing, not you :)

Fun puzzle, glad you were able to finish something. and cool someone else used bevy! I was able to get past the first few levels but kind of got stuck. Would really like some first letter limited hint to at least get on the right track although I realize starting/ending letters is the primary clue it's easy just to feel stuck.

I completed the first two and then got stuck (not very good at word games) but I have to say this is a wonderful wonderful word puzzle game! Excellent work and hugely thematic!
