To chime in further, the battle log would be more legible if it listed the rules that applied.

Eg:

Defender bonus = 2

Shortest word = 2 (*in*, top, sugar)

Attacker word = 5 (*twine*)

Attacker wins (5-4=1)

At least for me I’m always getting ganked and trying to decipher the battle log to see why it didn’t do what I expected.

That being said, thanks it is fun.

Nice! We've had this on the list for a while so this is great validation for building it :)
