Nice interface!

The instructions could use maybe a few examples on how to make a move -- but I figured it out. The game is tough and challenging, but it's really satisfying when you make progress. Well done!

Thanks! And yes the instructions are proving to be a common issue in these comments. Will fix those in the next day or so.

I've been fiddling for a few minutes and have successfully moved a bunch of pieces...but also can't figure out for the life of me why some moves aren't allowed.

It only allows English words (that are present in the word list I found… think valid scrabble words). Does that explain the issues you’re seeing?
