I adore the hint button, some of these were proverbs I was unfamiliar with (despite being a native speaker) and it allowed me to hit the ground running. And kudos for letting us toggle between unlearned proverbs and all proverbs in the settings! I think old proverbs are a fine interpretation of folklore, its a very broad concept and I haven't seen any other games go down this route with the theme. Maybe add a little bit of spice to the mechanics in how you interact with each proverb after its been typed, like a demonstration of the meaning of the proverb or something like that? And it plays out when you finish the proverb?
