A way to make it a bit easier might be to make thematic groups? Random 7 letter words like vixenly are pretty tough.

It gets kind of difficult at the 6 letter stage . With some words, there aren't even any 6-letter words to be made, so you have to get the 7-letter or you lose that round (I haven't actually checked this by the way, maybe I just suck >_> ).

I also second the idea that the star should move faster. It bugs me when the water level is low and the letters are scrambled such that I have to run back and forth and I'm too slow to get the 7 letter word all spelled out. The shooting is obviously part of your intentional design, but I like my typing

@Mani

Hmm.. It's possible, but it would be a serious amount of work. It's not that I don't care, cause I do very much. Maybe in a future version I'll get to it. It's a good idea for sure. Maybe even a game mode. I think what's more important is to clean out words like vixenly that are just so far out of english dialogue these days that they simply shouldn't be there. Hopefully that will help a lot, and it's an undertaking for sure, but we're on it. [We being my family lol]

@KyuuKyuu
Starfish will move faster by tonight, and the lower water levels should be made easier as well.

Thanks for the feedback.

Patch coming soon!

If you want to send me part of your word list then I can help weed out ones that may be less desirable.

I couldn't; that's too much. I really do appreciate it though.

New patch is up, though the instructions screen is kind of limbo between Old and New Look.

Other changes:

Player moves faster
Bubbles slow down at the 2nd lowest water levels between semi slow to super slow [behind the scenes, if you have a time slow powerup, it'll choose the slowest of the two, not combine them for pretty much time stop haha]

Let me know if that feels better, overall.

After playing it more I agree about the randomness of the words. It gets impossibly hard for me at 5-6 letters.

you should be able to move faster as well. even if you "see" the 7 letter word sometimes it's hard to "shoot" all the letters in time.
