It says “framer” is not in the word list, but it most certainly is a word, at least according to the New Oxford American Dictionary.

Nice! Fun game and works well :)
- I don’t think the space bar again to submit is super obvious.
- It’d be nice if it showed the numeric score at the end too, not just in the leaderboard. It’s also not obvious how the score is calculated (I think it’s the length of both words?)
- Would also be nice to show the score for the reveal words, so I can see how close I was to the best score
- If you log in it resets the board, maybe you could put it in localstorage before redirecting?

Cute game! A way to sign up without a google account would be nice, but since it's playable without it, that's good enough for me for now.

I completed the puzzle and it said “Good”. Then I looked at the scoreboard and other people got numerical scores? And I didn’t?

your score is the length of your two words plus the space

I liked it and got a 7 space 4.
Is this the max score? How can I know? It wants me to login for a reveal… which is unfortunately where I bounced. Maybe I would sign up after a fews days if I got hooked because I found it really annoying when I lost my wordle streak.

A bit surprised that TILTH is not in the acceptable word list.

Nor was "hilted", so I came back here to complain about the word list. :-)

Could make it with 2 common words for 11. But a second attempt used archaic ones.
It's a bit limited though

Ah, so I'm not the only one!

What if you find one word that covers all the letters, like "highlighted"?

There are two Ts in the prompt. Choose a long second word with a T in it.

You shouldn’t force people to create an account. Pretty much all other xxxle games are login-free.

Neat. Remove the need to log in and use the regular keyboard, please.
How to play:
1. You're given a set of letters (such as "ZXCVBNM")
2. Come up with two words that use all the letters (like "convex zombie")
3. The shorter the words, the better!
