I would add that the answer detection logic should probably get beefed up a bit as well. When I solved today's puzzle, it counted "race car" as a wrong answer when it expected "racecar". It should accept both forms of a compound word (also "racecar" isn't a word but that's more minor).
- computerfriend 2y agoBut "race car" with a space isn't a palindrome.
- schoen 2y agoIt wouldn't be accepted by a palindrome-detecting function but it would generally be accepted by puzzle-solving conventions (e.g. for crosswords), which normally ignore spaces.
- chaboud 2y agoThere's an ambiguity here between palindromic words and palindromic sentences (where punctuation and spacing are non-breaking): "Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog" or "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama" though it seems that all of the answers (in the one tutorial and one round that I played) are single words, often slid in as character insertions. Just go light on the spacebar, apparently.

- jayknight 2y agoIt seems that every answer is a single word. I don't think it says that anywhere, but the few I've done seem to be that way.
- secabeen 2y agoThere is no space bar on the on-screen keyboard on mobile, so it's not possible to type multiple words as well.
