I love the concept, but...why is "bigg" a valid word?  Or "gul" and "ch"?  The idea of building things out of smaller parts is cool, but finding the smaller parts feels like a guessing game, or trial and error, rather than something you can think through.

That’s a good question! Finding a word list to use was a bigger challenge than I expected. I ended up using a public domain one I found on GitHub, maybe it had too many obscure/archaic words in it.

That is good feedback, thank you! I’ll keep that in mind if I make any further word games.

I like it. For me, the fun of it scales with the challenge. At a certain level of difficulty, it becomes more of a puzzle you have to think about, which is cool.
