I also found myself trying to drag the bars. Is dragging supposed to work on desktop? If not, I would clarify that in the "How to play" instructions.

What dictionary are you using? I tried a couple of words like 'acing' and 'awing' that should work?

Thanks for the feedback. Dragging doesn’t work on desktop right now, only clicking, but I’ve added drag support to my backlog.

On the words: Word Slicer focuses on base or dictionary forms. The list includes common nouns (like river), verbs (like dance), and adjectives (like bright). You’ll find wide but not wider, for example — which is why words like acing or awing don’t register.
