Interesting game, but ... there's just not enough instruction. Is the game supposed to be for real words or made up words?

The objective is stated "make the letters green", but you're not sure why they might be green.

Yeah exactly. I can't figure out what the hell I should be doing.

It's just frustrating. It might as well be "Numbtris" where you have to guess the number, and all you're told, "Make a number," and every digit you place is "wrong".

And worse, you only get five guesses per row, so if you get something wrong, you can't ever fix your guess .. or rather, if you do, you'll end up with cells unfilled.

Not to mention using red/green making it rather hard for some people.
