Thanks for the feedback — it's looking like we'll have to find some solution for showing valid words, based on the comments.

(Also, will fix the dictionary, thanks!)

Since I didn't say in it my comment, I'll say it in the reply:

Congratulations on getting this far! Games are a huge amount of work (so much more than it looks like on the surface), so shipping something is always an accomplishment.

I definitely had fun for the rounds I played the other day, which is why I bothered with feedback. It's a great little concept, and well-executed. I really appreciated the tutorial (especially the "sample game", that really solidified the concepts for me after the step-by-step tutorial).

Great work so far! Excited to see where it ends up!

(And one more super minor feedback while I'm here: when I'm playing on keyboard and mouse, I'd love the ability to press a keyboard key to select a letter, then click to play on the board with a mouse. So: "press the keyboard key 'i', then click on an empty but legal space to play", and one of my 'i' tiles goes to that space". As far as I can tell this would be manageable, since it doesn't seem to matter which 'i' tile I play from my hand).
