Android (Firefox) shows number of letters in words, iOS doesn't #10

Closed bencomp closed 1 year ago

bencomp commented 1 year ago

When I play on my Android phone in Firefox, I can tell how many letters go in a word to guess, which makes guessing a little easier. My partner has an iPhone and the font it uses does not show the boundaries between the letters. That means she has to "guestimate" the number of letters in the words.

Would it be possible to select a font that gives more similar results on these different platforms? I need to see these boundaries, or Censordle would be very hard to play.

Do you happen to know what monospace font you have?

bencomp commented 1 year ago

It appears that Firefox uses the default Android monospace, which is Roboto Mono.

If the unknown words had a different CSS class applied, it would be possible to set letter-spacing: 0.1rem or similar to ensure a visible boundary.

I see you suggested two fixes for this, @hexylena! Thanks! I think I prefer #12 over #13.
