At first I was really intrigued and thought it was a type of bluffing/deception game. I missed reading/understanding that you actually had to unscramble the letters in each word hehe.
Part of me wishes there was a mode for that but it may be hard to figure out a good way to telegraph it and still make it fun. Also could consider making a mode in which you unscramble the words to type out a short story :p
Hey, thanks for checking it out! Do you have an example of bluff/deception gameplay? I went with a simple jumble because of the time constraints from the game jam, but there is no reason I could not do some improvements to this game. Thanks for the feedback. :)
Oh, well I just really like bluffing games in general. Usually in a tabletop game though, because social interactions with people are what make bluffing interesting. But at first I believed that I simply had to type out what was written, and that I had to guess or find out which word was the one that I was meant to unscramble (see, I thought here unscrambling was to defuse). It worked with some scrambled words of course, leading me to see if there were any indication in the letters to 'tell' they were bluffing from the rest
I think usually when bluff/deception is used in games, there's some other resource at stake on top of the gamble. Something that has other players wondering if it's worth taking the risk if they make the mistake or as a trade off. But I'm unsure on how to go about that in a good way :P
Yeah, I think I need to either use categories, or a smaller subset of words. I should have used a dictionary of "common" English words instead of all possible. Many of those words are quite obscure. Thanks for the feedback!

yes also start with smaller words and build up
