Gameplay is not great. After 30 seconds of random peeking, it's clear that the winning strategy is to go line by line, then column by column, then diagonals. Not a lot of fun...

It’s not a game. It’s a test for ADHD!

As someone who has ADHD, this 2:40 test was WAAAAAAY faster than the others.

Just like the word searches we used to do as kids.

Identified the word, selected it, got it confirmed with a green surrounding loop .... and then nothing.

Confirmation bias.

Try highlighting any 5 character sequence. It always goes green.

What you found isn't the word. And is probably a mispell.

That's not confirmation bias. It's just misleading.

Seems like a bug to allow selecting the winning word starting backwards.
