   Finished creating my latest game this weekend. It's a group word game inspired by scrabble where all players have the same tiles and can compete for the highest score each day/week. Let me know what you think!

   Thanks for the feedback! I've removed the clock now and instead it only tells you the completion time once you have solved. For mobile you should be able to tap the letters. Can I please ask what device and browser you are playing.

    In full honesty I've never seen or played spelling bee haha, but yes definitely some similarities after looking now! The inspiration came more from scrabble than anything else

    Thanks for playing! Right now the score is calculated by letter value multiplied by word length so longer words score more points. Open to feedback on this as wasn't sure best scoring.

    For first version I'm just using http://aspell.net english dictionary, but I can easily switch to a custom word list. Will research best options.

    Great feedback thanks! 1. Will fix this! It's because I'm using jQuery draggable for moving the letters. 2. Same as above. 3. Thanks! 4. The score is letter values multiplied by word length (will make this more clear).
