Fun game. Would be nice if there was a single player mode that simply prints the letters and at the end shows the longest word that was missed. That way you can play it offline and place a phone in the center of the table and people can play around it with pen and paper or by just thinking of the word and everyone announces at the end.

Nice. I didn't know you could reuse the same letter! How are you handling the multiplayer framework?

This is a lot of fun! I'm pleased that I was able to defeat "hitler1488", but you may want to add some content filtering for the name choosing step.

Good idea. And thanks for checking it out!

Idea: it would be more interesting/competitive if you could immediately see others' submissions, and if those words were then "taken" and can't be reused.
Currently you're just kind of twiddling your thumbs after you submit and run out of ideas.
It was also not immediately obvious to me that you can submit multiple words, so I was wasting time entering and deleting attempts before finally submitting the best one.
Finally, instead of fixed timers between rounds, you might want to have a "Ready!" or "Go!" button.

Super fun, thanks for sharing! Might be handy to explain the rules up top (can't seem to see them):
- Proper nouns allowed
- Can reuse letters
- Longest word possible might not use all the letters

Nice!
Needs a chat space to say "gg" at the end. It could even be just a button that does just that, if you're worried about unmoderated chat. Competitive games feel unfinished without it!
I was in second place for the first three rounds and then swept to the front on the last round.

OP will probably want to replay events to make it seem real time when there aren't enough people to pair with. So a real time chat might not work.

Adding chat is a good idea, thanks for the input. Thanks for checking it out!

As well recommend but make it limited chat.
A way to salute and say well done does make the experience more fun.

Awesome game. This round was quite funny since the other person got an antonym.
This is great! No need to require a button click in between rounds IMO. Just start the timer.

A word got denied with the error "Word was already used". I had in fact not used it already, neither had any of the others. That caused me to lose the game, very unsatisfying.
(nice game otherwise)

I think I know what went wrong. Right now, even unscored words are not allowed to be reused. Will post a quick fix. Thanks for the precise bug report!

I'm the horrible kind of person to go off and use an AI-assisted cheat that can be pasted into the console. Very fun game, nonetheless!

Gentle and fun. Reminds me of isketch back in the days of flash.
I look forward to playing this with my mother.
