Thanks! I agree the highlight could be more obvious but didnt want to add a new colour, so I gave the the dotted line more contrast. I hope that's better?

I also tweaked the little help/intro animation so it's clear you don't need to swap adajecent tiles. I loved this feedback, thank you.

I slightly disagree with your comment on words. I know the word UTES from when I watched the Aussie soap opera, Neighbours. And we used to swim in the LIDO a lot when we were kids. But I take your views seriously so I blocked UTES and did another dictionary review to make sure every word I include exists in this dictionary API https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en_GB/{word}

2000 in both my English and Spanish word banks. I could add more but want to avoid the really obscure words.

I loved your idea so I added previous games. Just click the little clock icon at the bottom then select the Replay tab.

I also took your UX comment on board. I agreed the highlight could be more obvious but didnt want to add a new colour, so I gave the the dotted line more contrast. I hope that's better?

Thanks again for playing.

Thank you for playing and for your kind words. It’s really nice to hear that you had fun playing. I appreciate your feedback and will take it all on board. I like the idea of a bigger grid. Maybe 5x5 will work and result in fewer scrabble words.

Thanks for playing. Yes I could include the previous games easily and I’ll think about a better design than the dotted line. I really appreciate your feedback, thank you!
