no yellow here either!

We all play hard mode, and sometimes you get these long runs where you are just changing a letter or two. mk suggested making a version where you try to make as many words as you can without repeating letters in a position, and the next week I had some free time so I made a standalone app that was very rugged but it worked.

It was so much fun! We experimented with rules, and then it sat there for a while until mk prodded me again and suggested making an online version, which I had never done before. I've learned a ton!
