•What does mini side games mean? are they separate rooms or little things to play during the intermission? Coming from Serpentine there's some QOL features I'd like to see. •Data on words your opponents got, so you can get an idea of how you were beaten. Eg on Serpentine end of game word list it shows in parentheses how many people found each word. Would also be nice to see the point value of each word in the end list, maybe only show for the 6+ letter words to reduce clutter. •A list of words you recently found would be nice also. Often I get a long word but I'm going so fast that I've made another word before I remember to check how many points I earned from that monster. Would just be nice to be able to look back. •I like that there's no Serp-like bonus for being the 1st player to find a word, it gives fast starters too much of an advantage. Still, would be nice to have some kind of sound or visual feedback if you found something first. Not essential, just gives a bit of satisfaction seeing you are the first to find some long words. •The orange bonus letter feels a bit weak if it's on a 1pt letter for example, reducing it to irrelevancy. If it were a flat 10pts it would give it relevance in every game and thus add more consistent gameplay depth. Another option could be that the orange doubles the point value of the highest scoring letter in the word, this would give something new to think about as routing high scoring letters through it could give a significant boost. Might be too unintuitive for people, I don't know. Flat bonus easier to understand for sure. Other features I'm liking a lot, and I now play here more than Serpentine. Green bonus letter adds some nice depth, as well as scrabble scoring. Exclusion of low word count grids also greatly improves the experience. Traffic-light word hunting system is my fave, removes a lot of the need for spam-random-words, which occurs in Serpentine. Also lets you feel smarter by allowing you to find some crazy words. 🤓 Overall really good job so far ⭐ *I just posted this and see the wall of text it created! I had arranged my message into paragraphs to improve readability, but it's not reflected in the posted message. Something else to add to my list of requested features :)

Hello Sasa. Your idea to have team games is a very good one and something I’ve been really wanting to implement. I’m waiting to see how many people participate in the Tournament this weekend before I commit to any further work on this site. Thanks for your support and kind words. I truly appreciate the people who keep coming back, inviting people and trying to make the site work out. Fingers crossed it gets busier around here.

First off, love, love, love this site and all the new additions. People are dorks if they don’t flock to this site. The lighted tiles to find words is simply genius and a cheat that has ruined me for other sites. I still think a team game would be fun, albeit complicated to arrange and program. I think a chatterbox room, with a longer lag time may be a good idea, Also, perhaps a room where a certain letter gives you a bazillion points, like even more than boojum, and only one. Whatever you do, I sure it will be great. Thank you again for all the hard work! And yes, Limes will win it all, cuz, well, she is Limes.🍋‍🟩Normy? Come on…No offense Alienzen, you have your moments. However, anything can happen….
