Tested adding take backs and played the game

Context: Currently once a tile is played, you cannot recall it. You can only restart the round. Every time you play a tile, it replaces it with the next one. We had a poll where most people were in favour of adding a backspace button and therefore removing the tile replace mechanic mid play.

Tested these with a few people and I feel like this becomes any other "find the best word with x tiles" game. The "discovering new better words" mid play I think was what makes this fun and unique. It just felt boring with the backspace button. So for now it will stay the same.

50 members in just 2 days. thanks!

Adding a webapp too so people can play outside reddit. The website will pull stats from reddit eitherway so the leaderboard is the same across platforms.

add a takeback/backspace button?

got feedback that takebacks would be nice i.e. recall a letter that is played without negative consequences. i argue that its a unique game mechanic, but would rather just do whatever people like the most :)

I made a word game u/smallwordsgame which got randomly banned

I have not received any email or notification. I only made the game yesterday and it was working fine then. I received no warning or notice. https://www.reddit.com/user/smallwordsgame/ says its banned. I am really confused and upset as I literally have no mechanism or feedback to understand what happened.

What kind of flairs?

I figured adding user flairs would be fun. Every time you comment, your user flair would appear. The flair would be auto assigned to the user depending on the achievement.

Adding more Glyphs

Trying out a new thing from tomorrow where:
- instead of 3 Glyphs, it will be 5 Glyphs of the day
- adding 50 more Glyphs apart from the existing 49 Glyphs we have

There will be a "Glyphs" button in the title screen that shows the entire collection of Glyphs. :)

I keep hearing about people mocking them. This has never been the case with me?

I think my stammer is so severe at times that my face contorts really badly. I feel like they see this and get startled and do not mock me because its optically very clear that I'm having a bad time. They probably mock me in their head but never ever has there been a case where they mock me or dismiss me to my face publically. Anybody else feel this?

I think I have a good game that people enjoy. But growth is stagnating.

Gonna hit around 100 members soon, but the curve is flattening and am looking for creative ideas on how to boost it.
