A couple more ideas:

- could be nice to have it calculate and show the score of the word you have currently placed

- when you place a tile on the DL or TL you can't see where the DL and TL are any more (I think on Scrabble board they have little triangles that stick out past the edges?)

- I found myself wanting to know the 'target' score, but I guess that would change the experience a bit

1. It shows the score just above the word if it is valid! 2. Yes agree thats a good idea. 3. I could add a new game mode where it shows you the target score, but I'm going to keep dad's score hidden for my own entertainment haha

Could just do a minimal outer box shadow/glow around the tile in the color of the DL or TL to remind people where they are once letters are laid down.

It wasn't clear to me that I needed to start from the leftmost box.

same here :)
