Cool idea. One suggestion is to allow a selection box to be dragged around a block of letters. Once selected, all of the tiles in the area could be dragged at once.

That would reduce the frustration of having to move a large chunk of words around piece by piece. It would be better than the existing affordance, which moves the whole grid.



Thanks! I experimented with this but struggled making it feel natural on mobile.

I ended up implementing an alternate solution that I’m hoping solves for the same paint point.

My current dev build “merges” tiles when you connect them to complete a word. This allows you to move them as

I’m going to release a demo with that feature soon. My core playtesters seem to like it but I want to get more feedback on it from a larger group!


Merging is exactly what I expected when I put chunks together, with tap to separate them again.
