    The game is really fun! I think it gets a bit too hard when they start dropping faster though, there's not a lot of time to make strategic decisions. It would be really fun if you added a 'puzzle' mode where you have unlimited time to decide where to drop the pieces. The difficulty increase over time could instead be getting less of the smaller blocks or more evenly distributed letters rather than speed ups.

    The game is fun, but I'd like to make a few suggestions:
    First off, I should mention there is something called the "Tetris Guideline Rules" for how you should make a Tetris game, written by the Tetris Company. It dictates how randomizing pieces and default controls and kicks and such should work. Of the things in the guideline, The controls, and piece kicks, (basically how the piece is moved after a rotation if it can't rotate in place) are arguably the most important changes you can make.
    Additionally, another good change would be being able to rebind the controls.
    Gameplay wise, I feel like it's worth having more smaller triminoes and dominoes over the 4-length pieces. Additionally, grouping characters together in ways that make sense for a word would drastically make the game much easier and more rewarding to play, and the challenge would then come with levels and higher fall speeds.
    Speaking of fall speeds, Those are mentioned in the guideline, but the main thing to add is a grace period when the block touches the ground, and resetting it after a movement. (but not forever)
    An idea to try is wildcard tiles, which count as any letter and might make it a little easier. Maybe use an asterisk (*) or something?
    Overall, quite a fun mashup!

    • @lapiscarrot3557

      The 'boring' 3-letter version has a piece with three exclamation marks on it which is a sort of wildcard, in that it'll cause an explosion where it is placed.

    Personally I'd find it a lot easier to play if there was an additional option to change it so the directions were on the arrow keys instead of random letters, as the arrow keys (with my right hand) are totally instinctive to me from far too many years of scrolling with the arrow keys, but using letters on the far left of the keyboard with my left hand (or even physically shifting the keyboard across and using my right) was not. I kept accelerating a piece down when I was trying to rotate it and shifting it to the right or left when I wanted to accelerate it down etc etc.

    Edit: I found it by comparing the 2-letter words in the fillability website to that in the 2-letter word list. It's the *OSPD4* lexicon. Not only is this lexicon outdated (most recent is OSPD7), but it's also not common. The common ones are CSW21 and NWL23.

    This seems really fun! I have a suggestion on the letter generation: instead of picking a random letter for each tile based on the letter distribution in the english language, it would be interesting to see what changes using this procedure:
    1 pick a random tile in the tetromino
    2 pick a random letter for that tile based on the letter distribution
    3 pick an adjacent tile
    4 pick a letter from that tile NOT based on the standard letter distribution, but based on how often each letter appears next to the already chosen one
    5 repeat 3-4 until done
    This could be improved further using sequences of 3 or 4 letters instead of 2 when the tiles which already have a letter and the new tile are aligned. I feel like this would increase the probability of making words and reduce the game difficulty, which might or might not be desired, so it could be an optional game mode
    Great work anyway!

    Some constructive feedback:
    Rarer letters should be worth more points
    6 letter words give double, as well as 2 words at the same time!
    Floating letters should fall (and give chain reactions checking each square it falls)
    Freeze time for half a second after you spell a word (while animation is going or pieces are falling, both rewarding to see and giving you a short breather)
    Good stuff as always sir!

    for a suggestion, it would be cool to have the default control scheme as used in Tetrio, with Z and X being usable for rotation and C for holding a piece (and A for 180 if that's good). good for playing with both hands and is more intuitive when there is little standard on what the up arrow's behavior usually represents across tetris games and clones across the internet
