Use of the limitation
The player can only use one word at a time. Each word is like its own pool of different resources that must be managed on a turn-by-turn basis. Really, it's just drawing preset hands in a card game.

Cookies eaten
Zero cookies :( But a couple macaroons :)

I played without knowing what the letters were for. I still won the battles. It's not clear in that regard, but the concept is great.

This is really fun and the music is pretty epic, I just didn't understand what the goal was until I played a few battles and guessed how the game behaved. Very neat submission 🔥

i thought that the goal of the game was to spell the word, but it seems like playing random letters still wins the battle half the time and a lot of times it becomes my turn when there is no word left to spell, so i’m not entirely sure i understood the concept. was fun tho, and the music is a banger!

It's more like each word you draw is your "hand" (in a card game), and your goal is to try to strategize using the letters you get. Yeah...this is just a card game. The complete lack of a tutorial definitely doesn't clarify anything XD.

Thanks! I was definitely excited to try creating it, and I had some ideas (pushed out of scope) to make things more interesting than they ended up being. Maybe I'll fully revamp the game at some point.
