    It’s basically Ribbit from Puzzmo, which is fine because reimplementations let you experiment with different gameplay.

      Came here to say this, Ribbit is a lot of fun, and Puzzmo in general is a really solid site.

    Pretty fun, took me about 10 minutes but found 24 words 10 of them bonus. This was #5 for future viewers.

    the score should include how many bonus words you found (out of how many there were in total) and instead of time it should count how many tries you made because technically you could brute force this and try all combinations. counting each try would eliminate that (for anyone trying to get a high score)

    Cool game. Snus isn't in the word list btw

    Found six bonus words.

    I like that it also handles words that aren't planned in. You get a nice "bonus word" popout.

      Yeah, I got "TUNS" as a bonus word.

        Yeah tuns (a word well known to homebrewers) is not as esoteric as yttria (a word known to.. chemists?)

        Not sure how to vote for it, though.

    pretty cool. how are you deciding or generating puzzles ?
  • almara2 hours ago
    Fun! I like how the puzzle naturally gets easier as you solve it. How do you decide which words to include?
    • pompomsheep2 hours ago
      Thanks. I use a combination of AI to first score the words by obscurity and then manually decide which ones to include based on this score and my own judgement.

      I then manually test each of the puzzles and throw out any that I feel weren't "fun" to solve for whatever reason

    Interesting game! Is this an original idea? Is there plan to add "endless" number of zanagrams?

    There are a couple of games like this on Android I play:

    https://github.com/plhosk/wordtracer

    They're both on FDroid
