Thanks!
Hmm yes what do you think could be a better way? Just the number of points?

Send me a french dad and a french dictionary and I can add it this afternoon haha!
Wow no I didn't know that is how the french play. I believe it is a much fairer version of the game and better tests the players skill

You have to start the word in the first square. I've just added an error message to highlight that when you try submit. Thanks for the feedback!

1. It shows the score just above the word if it is valid!
2. Yes agree thats a good idea.
3. I could add a new game mode where it shows you the target score, but I'm going to keep dad's score hidden for my own entertainment haha

I haven't added the bonus 50 points but maybe I should?

Thanks for the feedback! Triple and double letter score. I've just changed now so it says it explicitly
danieltait | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: Can you beat my dad at Scrabble?
Hmm yes ok I just removed the refresh now.
The reason it was there is some days I opened the tab on my iphone and for some reason it still showed the yesterdays result rather than the new day's letters.
Will have a think of a better way to force the refresh of the letters on a new day.

This was a really fun game to make.
We've been playing scrabble together for years so it's nice I'm finally competent enough to code this online version.
I posted it on reddit and now over 1000 people are playing against my dad everyday haha.

Yes and also the idea to use green circles in the first place
danieltait | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: Sumplete – A logic puzzle game invented by ChatGPT
This was a fun project to test some more capabilities of ChatGPT. I was really amazed at how it was able to both invent the idea for the puzzle and then code a playable version of the game a few seconds later! I wrote a short post showing my prompts here - https://sumplete.com/about

Thank you! I'll give wordle wars a play. It's a pretty simple mysql database and short polling to update the leaderboard.

My first attempt at a live multiplayer game! Inspired by scrabble and a daily word game I made called Wordga.

Thanks. for the feedback. I agree the controls are not great especially on desktop. Will improve!

Oooh that shouldn't have happened. Please send feedback if it happens again
danieltait | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: Killer Crossword - A crossword puzzle variation with no clues
Yes I love that idea! Here is one that is just from a countries list for example - https://killercrossword.com/countries

Good feedback thanks and agree this definitely happens a lot especially in the harder version of the game. Maybe I can create a smarter way to show possible letters rather than the entire letters remaining
