You know, I'm not totally sure. Hitting a chord on a keyboard? Maybe. Might be tough to hear. Implied fundamentals inside a synth waveform? More likely. But I'm not a music theory guy, so maybe not the best person to ask!

Totally get that! Part of me wishes I had time to develop my own game, just something simple.

Heck yeah! (And yeah, I'm gonna keep plugging my word game now and then) πŸ˜† I just refined the scoring system and moved away from tracking individual mistakes and undos. Now it just keeps track of how many moves you make vs "par."

Fellow Texas voters, today is a good day to check your voter registration status.

Actually, good idea to check it monthly going forward.

Burger prices in Chicago range from about $15-22β€”WITHOUT fries, in some cases. 🫠

What did you think of the UI changes? Did the finishing the end word seem more intuitive?

My wife seems to think so too. I'll give this a shot for tomorrow's puzzle (#5). Thanks for the feedback!

But maybe the old way wasn't so bad?

πŸ”’ SLEEP (just shown as a reference)
πŸͺž SLEEP (you type in this one)
πŸ”„ PEELS (you type in this one)
etc.

What if the top word was sorta grayed out instead. So you type in the word below SLEEP and hit enter, then there's like a blinking cursor next to the grayed-out SLEEP, prompting you to type the final word?

Thanks for play-testing! That last step is tricky. Before, it would look like this when you completed a puzzle:

πŸ”’ SLEEP
πŸͺž SLEEP

So you would have to type SLEEP in that bottom rung, just to sort of confirm it. But I felt like it was redundant. πŸ€”

Finally watching Yellowjackets. This is some of the best casting I've seen! All the kids look so much like their adult counterparts.
