Hey, thanks for the candid feedback! It’s super helpful.

I’m curious if there were specific aspects you struggled with or if the whole thing was confusing?

Did you try the Practice Puzzle or jump right into the daily?

It sounds like you read the instructions but they weren’t enough. Maybe a video explainer would be better? Does the gameplay recording on this Reddit post help at all?

People really seem to like it once it clicks (Over 1100 people have finished the daily puzzle so far today) but there is a steep learning curve and I’d love to learn how to help people get past that initial hump.

IMO I shouldn't change the onboarding much. The game is very intuitive. Everyone I showed it to has picked it up in about 30 seconds.

It's very much a learn-by-doing game.

PS - This game is so fun. I don't usually do word games, but I can't stop playing this one.

Thanks, that’s good to hear!

My ideas are:

- Add an optional video explainer on the How To Play screen

- Redesign How to Play to push you towards the practice puzzle more strongly

- Add more practice puzzles that ramp up in difficulty
