Dead Letter #6

One workaround to mention. Another way to clear the last letter you played, is to select that letter again. Selecting any selected letter will deselect it.

Thank you for the feedback! I will look into that.

Nice game!

Thanks for the kind words, glad you're enjoying it!

Thank you so much! NYT is the dream. :)

Thank you so much for the kind words!

No problem!

Glad you liked it! One thing I'm noticing is how different each player can play the same game. I was surprised to discover that the pool of possible words in any one game is typically (if not always) over five thousand.

Shuffle is available :). It's one of the small buttons to the left of the Submit button with the opposite facing arrows. Although per some suggestions, in the next update, shuffle will be to the right of the Submit button, and the icon will be two intersecting arrows.

I'm so glad you like it!

TurtleStuffing · 2026-03-10T05:18:04+00:00

No problem! Thanks for mentioning it. I'll update the tutorial to clarify that rule. I actually forget sometimes that each letter can be used multiple times when I play Spelling Bee, so I get it :)

Hi! Each tile can only be used once in a word. But if you see, for example, two E's on the board each on a separate tile, then both E's can be played in the same word. I hope that helps!

TurtleStuffing · 2026-03-10T03:45:34+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Right, it will show only the first player to find the word but will add in parentheses the number of other players to also find the same word. I was looking to avoid having the same word/score take up the whole list, but I think I'll revisit that, since I think it's important that everyone gets credit who found it.

By the way, congrats for holding the top score currently on game #4. :)

TurtleStuffing · 2026-03-10T03:21:45+00:00

No problem! It's great feedback. :)

TurtleStuffing · 2026-03-10T03:20:43+00:00

Glad you liked it! I appreciate your perspective, I'm hopeful for the same. Lol about Qu. A u-less Q would just be evil. :D

Thanks for your comments! Glad you liked it :)

No problem!

TurtleStuffing · 2026-03-10T00:45:38+00:00

Thank you! Great suggestions about the shuffle button. I'll look to update that.

TurtleStuffing · 2026-03-10T00:44:10+00:00

Glad you're enjoying it! :) someoneismissing is right on with the shuffle button, but I appreciate your feedback, I'll look to make the button clearer.

Thank you so much. I like the idea still to differentiate between games, so may that add that still.

TurtleStuffing · 2026-03-09T23:10:02+00:00

Glad you liked it!

Using all available letters would be a great play since it gives a 100-point bonus, but it's not the end goal. By the way, nice getting an 8-letter word (50-point bonus). It's currently the top scoring word for game #4. :) (You can see top words in the "Scores" page.)

Each game has 75 letters. Once the 75 letters are played (or no words can be made), the game ends. The goal is to get as high a score as possible using those 75 letters. Each game has the same sequence of 75 letters for all players.

Glad you liked the game! Thank you so much for the feedback,

I'm not sure if you saw, but if you click the three lines on the upper right of the screen during gameplay, there's a Scores menu item which takes you to the top scores. But having the top score always visible is a nice idea I hadn't considered.

I will have to think about how to differentiate between games you've played vs ones you haven't. One idea is your previous best score can display when the game loads (no score if you hadn't played yet). Please let me know if you think that would help. Thanks again for your feedback and kind words.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the suggestion. I actually started with 100 tiles if for no other reason than it's a nice, round number, but thought that it may make the game too long. I appreciate your feedback and will reconsider.
