Really nice game, congrats! Just a small note: I just tried and swapped two identical letters, effectively yielding my turn. Not sure if this allowed by design.

Good point, I think we discussed this in the past and it shouldn't be — which we promptly forgot! Will amend. (and thanks!)

I hadn't thought of doing this! But yeah, I agree with what you concluded previously - passing turn is too powerful, I think.
