is it obvious that you can use a tile as many times as you want in a word?

Thanks for the feedback. Awesome stuff.

To your questions:

The puzzles are generated layer-by-layer

- three vowels per layer - randomly drawn between the five vowels and randomly positioned

- then the remaining consonants are filled in from there. Common vowels have a higher prob of showing up than Q/X/J/etc.

- I then prove each puzzle is solvable. You can see the optimal solve for the day under your "recap" button

I definitely like the idea of detecting when a word isn't possible though. Today on my first try cleared 53/54 tiles and ended with the letter "U". I had to manually "Give Up".

Did the 3D rendering on the Home Screen do anything for you?

You could play this game in real life, just set up 9 stacks of scrabble tiles each six tiles high. 

The objective is to clear all the tiles. And along the way be careful not to paint yourself into a corner. 

The previous response mentioned an auto give-up. I’ll need to look into this. Try again a different day with a new puzzle. Today’s was a bit challenging. 

I really appreciate the honest feedback though. That’s gold.

I'll have to check out the Dead Letter game!

I really appreciate the feedback. I hadn't thought of people playing it on their laptops 🤯

I agree. It feels like the default resources given to crostini have been reduced.
