Got you. I have added that to my backlog. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the question and the feedback! On Android and iOS the sliders should be draggable up and down — did that not work on your phone? On desktop it’s click-only for now, but I’ve added dragging there to my backlog.

oh, not good. Thanks for the feedback, it really helps. One question: did you try to drag the slider with the mouse or did you press the letters "E", "N" and "D"?

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.

Did you play on mobile or desktop?

Fixed :-)

On the second point, then all of your games results are stored if you have signed up for an account. You find it under your profile: "Game Activity"

Thanks for the feedback. Finally weekend, so now I have time to look into the feedback. I have added a "Mute sound effects" configuration. Enjoy :-)

Thanks for pointing that out and good idea to fallback to copy to clipboard. Thanks for sharing :-)

During yesterday Word Slicer got quite good traffic due to getting on the first page of Hacker News again. The post got back on the first page with it hit 50 points.

I am tracking two goals: "Start game" and "Complete Game". This is what I got yesterday:

Goal: Start game Returning visitors conversion rate is 10.98% , New visitors conversion rate is 6.79%

Goal: Complete game: Returning visitors conversion rate is 8.54% , New visitors conversion rate is 4.29%

Total disaster or quite ok? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

but best to avoid.

Thanks. I will add a mute option in case it becomes annoying or if you just enjoy silence and want to focus on solving the Daily Slicer.

That is right. Hacker News is driving a lot of people to Word Slicer the last couple of days. Now the real test is if people are coming back again. Fingers crossed.

Very good point about the accessibility perspective regarding font size and contrast. I will also look into if the font should be replaced with a more readable one.

Do you also think that the letters and sliders are too small on the phone?

Thank you very much. One of the things I am considering is how to use the screen real estate better. Right now I prefer the experience when the game is installed on the home screen of the phone as a progressive web app. Perhaps the better option is to develop an iOS and Android app. Any thoughts on that?

Great to hear. There is a Daily Slicer every day, and then there are "free to play" games that you can play as many as you want :-) Three levels of difficulty for the "free plays": 3, 4 and 5 letters.

Thanks. What is the screen size?

BTW - sorry for not upvoting your comments until now. I am new to HC

I am always reading :-) and thanks for taking the time to give feedback!

I agree that I have a challenge with real estate use on mobile and that I have to find a way to improve it.

What device are you using?

Also a good idea :-) Thanks!

I agree on the mobile experience in a browser is not too good. As a PWA it is much better. I am considering building a mobile app, but want to see if people like the game before I put in the effort :-)

Thanks. Sometimes I wonder if it is too clean and should be made more “Candy Crush” style

Good catch. Thanks

I am so glad to hear that

You are right. Thanks for the feedback.

That makes sense, thanks for the idea.

Glad you liked it. When you get a hang of it, then it becomes a bit easier. I have made experiments to figure out to make it not too easy and not too hard - not sure if I succeeded :-)

Good point, I will work on getting that implemented.
