I 'knew' the word in the bottom left corner pretty much from the beginning, I just didn't get it until the end because I kept trying with the Hs in the wrong order 😂

Something I'll need to pay attention to is the number of theme words and how many are left. Once I had locked in COLON, there were only 2 words left, so it had to use all of the letters in both isolated groups.

[@chinareds54]

I'm not sure the groups were isolated. The way the word search thing works you could theoretically go diagonally from E-P or H-O across the spangram without them "overlapping" (depending on your definition of overlap). I don't know if they will actually have something like that as a puzzle solution but something to consider.

[@TomCee53]

There’s only 2 ‘A’s in spangram 😂

[@vida3814]

I enjoy this game but not watching you solve it! i was screaming at my screen 😂

[@Pacvalham]

You left your "Hello!" _stranded_

[@Rangsk]

You didn't like "yo"? 😂

[@Pacvalham]

@Rangsk No, there is nothing wrong with "yo". I just noticed you didn't say your usual word and I decided to make a little pun about it.

[@ball2536]

Nice solve. I just did it and was pretty fun

[@sebasthianne]

It's interesting. You said it's like cell tower, but in my opinion it's like a more focused version of Squaredle. It might replace it in my daily rotation of games. I was getting a bit tired of it anyway.

[@Rangsk]

Similar to squaredle for sure! The "fill the grid" aspect where you use each letter once reminded me more of Cell Tower though.

[@Pacvalham]

@@Rangsk I consider it a themed fusion of those two games.

[@SqueakSqueakleton]

I figure the hints are fine to use on your first go. Gotta see how they help. I think I ended up using 2 hints as well. I do like it though. Hope it sticks around unlike digits did, because that one was fun too.

[@JalebJay]

Wow, the hint option is useless when you already have 6/7 words.

[@Rangsk]

Yeah, I think the hint system needs work

[@dragletsofmakara1120]

Hint option is almost too powerful. Highlighting comma gave it all away.

[@felis_timon]

This game reminds me of Grid Breaker, a game you played twice in September

[@Rangsk]

True!

[@ljgalletta8872]

yay! I like it
