Show HN: Chain-The-Words game that tests your vocab

https://www.chain-the-words.com/
2•martianmanhunt•7h ago
I made this app which tests your vocabulary. You have to name a word for every letter of the current word, and the last word becomes your new word. It's in beta.

The word list is limited.

I got "umbrella" is not a valid word.

martianmanhunt•6h ago
Thanks that is strange. I am using the array of english words library but maybe needs to be something better.
celticninja•6h ago
Time is also too short game ends because I occasionally choose to type a word with more than 6 characters

Also the keyboard in android covers the submit button so you have to exit the keyboard to submit and it times out.

I was on hard mode

martianmanhunt•6h ago
Thanks that's very useful. It's currently at 5 seconds but maybe I should make it 10. On mobile versions I tried to add the "hit enter to submit" functionality but are you not finding that to be the case?
martianmanhunt•6h ago
Changed it to 10s. Thanks for the feedback!
