I made a word building game supporting anagrams and one handed use

Hi everyone, Wanted to share a game I built. It's called Unscramble! and I believe it's the simplest word building game. Rules: You get a few letters on screen. You need to make one word with all the letters. Tap a letter to select. Tap again to deselect. Faster you go, better you score. If you enter anagrams of the word it's looking for, it gives you extra points. If you are stuck, you can either "Ask Friend" or get Hint. You get extra points for getting the word fast but you don't get penalized for taking too long. I believe the simplicity of the game along with big touch buttons makes it…

In plain words

Unscramble is a word building game where players arrange given letters to form a single word against the clock. The game rewards speed while offering anagrams as bonus points, and includes helper features like hints and friend assistance. Designed for one-handed play with large touch buttons, it offers six difficulty levels and customizable settings including timer toggles, music, sound effects, and haptic feedback. The game is intended to be simple and accessible for casual word game players.

    I built a procedurally generated word-search game where the puzzle never ends - as you scroll, the grid expands infinitely and new words appear. It’s designed to be quick to pick up, satisfying to play, and a little addictive. The core game works without an account using the pre-defined games, but signing up allows you to generate games using any topic you can think of. I’d love feedback on gameplay, performance, and whether the endless format feels engaging over time. If you try it, I’d really appreciate any bug reports or suggestions. Thanks in advance!
