This was harder than I thought it would be. It's pretty fun to play! May I suggest displaying the final result and/or ongoing progress as 18 circles/shapes that fill up depending on how far you made it?

I beat it! This is the first of your challenges I’ve actually completed.

It’s coming along nicely btw, some people are saying they don’t like the timer but I personally think the timer adds a lot to it. Also only being able to attempt once makes it more competitive, like if you combined hardcore minecraft and wordle. Hardcore wordle.

Something about not being able to shuffle the tiles makes this hard for me.

I didn’t realize the word “crowd“ only had one vowel until I saw it scrambled!

Cool. I wish I could choose British English as an option though, I failed to get words like Humor or Color because they’re just not in my lexiy.

Was this by chance inspired by a previous submission (now defunct) that had a similar premise?

Using an android phone with Firefox and when I hit word #13 with 7 letters, I was unable to scroll to the right to see a hidden letter. I switched to landscape and the bottom three letters were not available not was I able to scroll down to tap them.

Love the sleek UI.

Forgive the shameless plug. Here is my word game which only features words from programming and compsci.

This a good game. It’s fun, simple and quick. It’s self explanatory and clear what you need to do.

The UI is almost perfect, it’s seamless on mobile and desktop.

I made some criticism in other comments therefore I also wanted to make a comment saying what I liked.

Wow I suck! Played today's and a few others, and got ~4-6/18. I like the timer.

For 4 letters it's enough time to guess, but I have no idea what they mean: 'Doby', 'Etas'
