I did a few rounds scouring my brain for synonyms but there wasn't really any reward for getting one correct other than yet another word that I might not know any synonyms for :sweat_smile: I didn't know 'vitrolic' (was it supposed to be 'vitriolic'?) so I wished there was a skip function. Some of the words I typed didn't work when I expected them to, like 'demoralized' and 'disheartened' for 'discouraged'. I guess you could argue they're not true synonyms.\n\nThat said, it's impressive for a 3 hour job. I haven't played anything else like it yet.

This is a very nice twist on the theme and the gameplay loop is simple but fun.
