Thanks so much for playing!! I'm glad you liked the story and music :)
Yup I agree with you 100%, we're looking into vertical word-building in our next version since we didn't have time to implement it here (e.g., because when a word gets deconstructed it spawns vertically, so our code would automatically re-construct the word again lol).
Definitely something we want to add as we know that's an intuitive way to read a word, like how you and many others did it!
And loved your game as well! I hope you keep developing it, I really enjoyed the art-style. <3
