I have an android (pixel 7), and I got not alert for earthquake or tsunami. IOS users around me got alerted for the magnitude 7, not entirely sure about the tsunami

You would be right about that lol, I missed the article date

It tells you to cut down a tree and make a crafting table, beyond that there isn't anything (bedrock edition may be different I haven't touched it in a while)

The article says that there is no built in tutorial or guide, but that isn't true. For as long as I have played the game, there has been the basic prompts that tell you to cut down a tree and make a crafting table. Accessible from the inventory or crafting table are recipes for every single item you can craft with the materials you have found. That's all the guide you need, as the rest is sandbox. All the progression can be discovered and needs no guide, though people usually use guides anyways.

I think this is a good idea. I personally enjoy seeing where I place and trying to use the least possible number of moves. However, I also thought it would be good to be able to play as many puzzles as you want in a day, and a casual mode may be a way to do this.

There could be an official word each day that is ranked, but also randomly generated puzzles that you could play limitlessly. Only issue there is when you have words appearing in the casual mode and ranked mode, which I'm not entirely sure how to fix.

Definitely gets easier! The first puzzle after the HN post took me 181 ( including figuring out how it works), which I think is the most anyone has taken on one puzzle lol. However today it only took me 22 moves! It's a very fun puzzle and it really just needs a bit of practice.

This is a really cool puzzle! As others have said, definitely need better instructions for how to actually make moves, I spent a good amount of moves figuring it out. Also, it would be a nice addition if there was a function to share your results, similar to wordle and other similar online puzzles.

A more out-there suggestion would be a replay (either on the puzzle itself or as a gif) of all the moves you made. Could make it more interesting to share with friends.

Seems to work if you select the first and last letter of the word you want to spin
