This game is amazing. I've been playing for 30+ minutes and already look forward to my next run.
The gameplay reminds me a bit of Bananagrams but a LOT more interesting because of the abilities, goals, and placement bonuses. You're constantly weighing tradeoffs in where you want to place your next word - go for more tiles or go for more completion progress? Or maybe search for more abilities?
My only minor complaint is that the pico-8 font can be a bit hard to read at times but you do get used to it.
If you plan to develop this further, a "shuffle hand" button might be nice to help with brainstorming. Also, a "remove all placed tiles" button incase you realized your word attempt was invalid (maybe right click can work for this). Overall, a really solid entry!
