       | Interesting game, but ... there's just not enough instruction. Is
       | the game supposed to be for real words or made up words?
       | 
       | The objective is stated "make the letters green", but you're not
       | sure why they might be green.

         | Yeah exactly. I can't figure out what the hell I should be

         | It's just frustrating. It might as well be "Numbtris" where you
         | have to guess the number, and all you're told, "Make a number,"
         | and every digit you place is "wrong".

       | Oh this is given me dose vibes, I'm off to watch Irish People Try
       | American Word Games! Funny

       | This is buggy. Got to a state where there was only one place to
       | put it, and the console kept printing "Invalid placement", and
       | there was nothing to do. Console also complained about bad object
       | access, where you're trying to use a int timestamp as a key,
       | where it expects a string. Also the console is littered with
       | debug statements. A bit too early to post on HN imo.

       | If you open up the browser console, it has an array printed of
       | all of the words that you're apparently supposed to fill in. When
       | you place a letter or pair of letters, it's the bottom-most one
       | that will be set where you click
       | 
       | Your progress gets stored when you leave the page, so if you get
       | stuck, refresh, then open up your browser's Dev Tools, then
       | delete the local Indexed DB for the page and refresh again
