Even with the “trick”, I still found the mechanic surprisingly fun. I could see this working well as a different way to play Word Cookie (not sure if you’ve played the mobile game).

Haven't seen it before, but I googled it just now. It is like a crossword right?
My original thought was to give the player a timer and if you hit the letters on the right order it would give you more time to complete the game or if you get a minus sign it would take a few seconds from the timer but I thought it could make the game to challenging to also add a timer.
Perhaps I could add different play modes in the future .
