Allow random play? #33

Closed FranticErnie closed 4 years ago

FranticErnie commented 4 years ago

I just discovered this game and I'm hooked. Playing once a day is restricting, and scrolling back to previous dates is a bit chancy without keeping close track of which dates I've accessed.

I'd like to suggest the ability to just pick a random entry (hard or normal). I personally don't care about the leaderboard, competition etc but for those who do, maybe the random choice could be a random past date? Thanks for listening

Yeah, that wouldn't be too hard.

As it's not the primary use-case of the game what would you think about the below flow:

  1. when you click the calendar, there's also a "random" button in addition to calendar navigation
  2. after you succeed at a random word, there's a link that suggests "play another random word"?

That sounds just right. I does assume I'll succeed, though (-:

Sorry, wasn't hard, but took me a while to get time to do it. I didn't add the link in the success because it's easy enough to just go push random again.

Fantastic. I'm pretty sure I'll use them all up in a month, but even so my memory's not that good. (-:
