This is cool! I have a similar game I play with friends called GUCHAT. Same game - nonsense words on a Scrabble board. But everyone has to approve your word. (And you do get a chance to defend the word if there is pushback.)<p>Neat to see the concept extended. And perhaps others out there are playing variations of this under different names...

Another game from the author:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mkremins.itch.io&#x2F;starfreighter" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mkremins.itch.io&#x2F;starfreighter</a><p>Though entirely different than this one; it&#x27;s about procedural generated storylets. Personally, I love this combination of buzzwords.

I love this idea but I’m disappointed by the execution. The name is a nonsensical anagram of the original so I thought those would be fair game, but nearly all the ones I tried were rejected. Maybe I’m not “getting it” well enough to play?

&gt;&gt; CROMULENT<p>&gt; looks good to me!<p>Works pretty well, as far as I can tell.<p>Edit: yes, &quot;EMBIGGEN&quot; works as well.<p>Edit 2: &quot;COVID&quot; works, while &quot;COVI&quot; doesn&#x27;t. &quot;VIRUST&quot; needs a meaning. &quot;SOLIPSITUDING&quot; really doesn&#x27;t.

Looks like it&#x27;s closely correlated with the levenshtein distance (number of single character differences).

needs more training?<p>FOOBAR: no way thats a word!<p>Google: About 9,920,000 results (0.42 seconds)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Foobar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Foobar</a>

It&#x27;s fond of &quot;in&quot;, &quot;on&quot;, &quot;ing&quot;, &quot;tion&quot;, etc. QUO is not allowed. DINATINANITANID is allowed.

Seems to be a bit of a major bug if it considers two-letter words to be &quot;that&#x27;s too short to be a word!&quot;.

The fact that blabrecs isn&#x27;t an allowed non-word is disappointing.
