You are not the first person to say this, and I am starting to agree. I think that more basic ruleset is more fun and far more intuitive. Especially given the current UI layout. I am going to spin up a new version with that ruleset I think.
Also, the rule that you can't repeat a letter for a position with the horizontal word, or two immediate neighbours is just too...finnicky and arbitrary.
I ended up making my own keyboard for consistency across devices for https://wordglyph.xyz Another nice thing about custom keyboard is it doesn't give you word predictions like a lot of built in keyboards do.
Yeah, I am starting to appreciate that view a bit more now after also struggling with the native keyboard. I already started working on adding that to Word Pivot.
A few issues on Firefox android:
- keyboard closes after adding each letter so it's a clunky experience
- couldn't delete a letter
- it let me add two letters into the last box of one word
The rules are a bit unintuitive. Definitely surprising that horizontal words don't have to be words.
Also for me a timer is a turn off. Feels unnecessary.
