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

Cool that they list the definitions of the words afterwards. This makes it even more fun for non-native speakers, as it adds a free learning aspect to it.

Pretty fun, took me about 10 minutes but found 24 words 10 of them bonus. This was #5 for future viewers.
Edit: welp, spent another 15 mins and managed to solve the previous 4. Currently whipping up a custom version for myself that gives a new set of words related to a theme on each solve, love it.

Cool game! Well thatβs a sign I need to launch my word game this week if any

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)

Feels very like Squaredle.

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.

Fun! I like how the puzzle naturally gets easier as you solve it. How do you decide which words to include?

Interesting game! Is this an original idea? Is there plan to add "endless" number of zanagrams?
mateenah today at 5:51 PM

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

https://github.com/plhosk/wordtracer
They're both on FDroid
