Red circles #64

Closed ConchoMama closed 2 years ago

ConchoMama commented 2 years ago

I love this game but several times have encountered red circles around all 5 letters in a single attempt. What does that mean? 17DAEB97-33AF-4AD8-9F77-A8DF1CCEE2BA

it means it's not a valid word. should be niece :) I have meant to add a little popup that says "invalid word" to make this more clear.

opened up a new issue for making this more clear. thanks!

ConchoMama commented 2 years ago

Thanks! That is what we suspected but some of the words were valid…at least we thought so! 😉 I have now addicted my mother to this game! She is 81 and mostly blind but the “dark” feature allows her to see the letters so thanks for adding that! Tami

I know that you've closed this, but the same thing confused me at first. Perhaps you could add a note about this in your instructions.

Perhaps the following will prompt a good wording in your brain.

If after entering a word, you see all 5 letters circled in red, then the word is invalid.
