This is a link post Keywords - "if Only Connect was presented by Mavis Beacon" I made this!
I made a new daily word game. Find the five connected words of increasing length by typing into the boxes. Each time you type the correct letter, you move on to the next until you complete the word - but if you guess wrong you have to restart that word. Some days will be easier than others, but on the whole it is more tricky than it seems!

Coretextual looks beautiful as well - echoes of continental card games

"76% of players found less words than you"

Tut tut. Less is for an amount of stuff, fewer is for a number of things

This is a normal post This is ace.
All I suggest is adding a scoreboard based on time & number of penalties.

This is a normal post An easy mode where you get
given the next letter for each fail may be something to consider if everyone finds it as tough.

This is a normal post This is good, added to our daily quizzes at Simbo Manor
The wife said "Would be good to know which letters you have tried that were wrong" per line obvs

Inevitably she's probably right

This is a normal post Cheers!
Yes a few people have said that, but my reasoning is (copied and pasted from a Bluesky post I made on this subject) that having to remember the letters you've tried is part of the challenge. When I was trying out ideas I initially had the guessed letters highlighted on the keyboard, but I found it more difficult/fun without (with the bonus that it made the UI feel less cluttered)
