• 🌱 I mainly do webdev, as I like seeing the fruits of my labor instantly and having it accessible anywhere Internet exists. Currently learning EmberJS.

bogdle's Issues

iOS version scrolls when it shouldnt

The whole one page thing scrolls (as in, it doesn't take up exactly 100% height so it has overflow-y scrolling), and it shouldn't

"Games Played" logic incorrect

Despite playing during two different 24hr time periods, and two seed words, it only counts one game played

some seed words have anagrams

Each day should have one 9-letter word that has no anagram of itself, but the first day already had an anagram of itself!

UI shows 0 words found despite words being found

For several days my UI has been stuck in a bad state where (most notably) the words found count never increases. The coloration of words seems off, too, but I don’t understand that system well enough to know exactly what’s wrong there.

Issue is localized to this device (iOS), and this browser session (Chrome), but is not present in incognito mode, etc. Likely a cookie issue?

shaking animation causes word to cut through toaster modals

iOS sounds can glitch

After a while of having sounds, they started to double hit and then even sound glitchy

Dark mode illegibility

dark mode makes the words unreadable in the “Game Progress” modal

Add an option to clear valid word after submission

Help modal needs a mention about the hint system

Make word state more contrasty

Valid submitted words should look more distinct from invalid words and valid unsubmitted words

Win state allows for clearing disabled controls

After you win a game, the board should be disabled with no way to enable it unless one of two things happens:

• A new day's puzzle replaces the current one
• You clear localStorage

Need more stats

Only tracking games won and words played. "Could the 'share' message include a score for my top 5 words, instead of just saying "I beat Bogdle for today"?

Specific-length hints

suggestion: from the checklist, be able to get a hint about a specific-length word

Final word should pause and celebrate
