After spending a few minutes playing it, I came out with the feedback below:
It would be nice if you added some sound effects for "hits" and "misses".
For better dynamics, consider varying the words length. It appears to me that you are serving only words with five letters.
It appears that you are having a bug that prevents the game from running smoothly on the following browsers: Firefox (Windows) and Brave (Windows/Android). I tried other browsers/OSes and the game was running perfectly: Chrome/Edge (Windows), Safari (iOS) and Firefox (Android). Apparently, the script at "https://cloud.umami.is/script.js" is not being loaded which causes an exception to happen when you lose; this prevents the game to show "Try Again" and the screen goes blank instead where you have to refresh the page to play again.
About word length: the difficulty of finding anagrams increases exponentially (a bit loosely used, but probably correct) with word length. But the game does increase length after a few steps, I just found out. A help page would perhaps be better.
And about adding sound effects: only if they can be turned off easily.
The game doesn't find anagrams though? What I saw was nonwords (random permutations of the letters).
Or if you mean the player's task, that's not finding anagrams either: you just need to choose the nonword that has the same counts of the letters as the word.
Seeing some of the other comments reminded me that most of the work went into trimming the word lists so that it wasn't rude or randomly impossibly difficult.
It appears there is a bug with it on Firefox. The game loads with a word and what looks like five possible answers, but after a few seconds the screen goes blank.
I suggest that when you lose, in addition to the incorrect guess being highlighted with a red bar, the correct word should be highlighted with a green bar.
Psychologically I find myself wanting to see which word I missed, much in the same way that I involuntarily want to look back at the crack in the sidewalk I tripped over.
that was more fun than I was expecting it to be, but it just ended abruptly at some point. also you really need to filter the word list (or use a better one to start with); it was jarring to see "cumshots" in there!
Yeah I had so many “adult” words I started to think the author did it on purpose maybe. I statistically definitely shouldn’t have gotten half a dozen words like that when only playing a few rounds.
I was surprised how hard it is. I found myself clicking words that obviously contained another letter. BTW I made something related to anagrams more than a decade ago. If you want to see an animation of one word into another you can put it into an URL. Here's one that I ran into in this game: https://anigram.herokuapp.com/etlas/least
