I built a daily word game in 12 days. The base mechanic only took an hour. Getting it to the finish line took the rest. The work was in iteration: design, polish, juice, character. Taste, for now, is still relevant. Enjoy!

Wowza... I am so bad at this. lol One thing I would say is that when there is a "done" or a "next" button, it took me a sec to see it as a button because the actual button color was too close to white on my monitor. So I thought it was a click anywhere kinda "done".
