Got you. I have added that to my backlog. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the question and the feedback! On Android and iOS the sliders should be draggable up and down — did that not work on your phone? On desktop it’s click-only for now, but I’ve added dragging there to my backlog.

oh, not good. Thanks for the feedback, it really helps. One question: did you try to drag the slider with the mouse or did you press the letters "E", "N" and "D"?

Thanks for the feedback. Dragging doesn’t work on desktop right now, only clicking, but I’ve added drag support to my backlog.

On the words: Word Slicer focuses on base or dictionary forms. The list includes common nouns (like river), verbs (like dance), and adjectives (like bright). You’ll find wide but not wider, for example — which is why words like acing or awing don’t register.

Did you play on mobile or desktop?

On the second point, then all of your games results are stored if you have signed up for an account. You find it under your profile: "Game Activity"

Thanks for the feedback. Finally weekend, so now I have time to look into the feedback. I have added a "Mute sound effects" configuration. Enjoy :-)

Thanks for pointing that out and good idea to fallback to copy to clipboard. Thanks for sharing :-)

During yesterday Word Slicer got quite good traffic due to getting on the first page of Hacker News again. The post got back on the first page with it hit 50 points.

I am tracking two goals: "Start game" and "Complete Game". This is what I got yesterday:

Goal: Start game Returning visitors conversion rate is 10.98% , New visitors conversion rate is 6.79%

Goal: Complete game: Returning visitors conversion rate is 8.54% , New visitors conversion rate is 4.29%

Total disaster or quite ok? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

but best to avoid.

Thanks. I will add a mute option in case it becomes annoying or if you just enjoy silence and want to focus on solving the Daily Slicer.

That is right. Hacker News is driving a lot of people to Word Slicer the last couple of days. Now the real test is if people are coming back again. Fingers crossed.

Very good point about the accessibility perspective regarding font size and contrast. I will also look into if the font should be replaced with a more readable one.
