deadine v2.3.3

how many wrong guesses you get before the hangman hangs.

· playground — for learning (12–10 guesses) · pencils — for playing (9–6 guesses) · pens — for the committed (5–3 guesses)

words can be 3–12 letters (3-letter words only in hard+). higher tiers add more difficult words.

· easy: 4,411 | friendly words · normal: 26,119 | the recognizable middle · hard: 51,000 | words you may not think of · nasty!: 99,407 | everything actually used · webster: 152,249 | dictionary, junk and all · length — which word lengths are in play; lengths a bank doesn’t stock are grayed out · letters — switch a letter off and no word containing it is drawn · “no rare” — cuts j q x z · “no uncommon” — cuts those plus k v w f · “no e” — leaves only the words without one · “only etaoin” — keeps just e t a o i n s h r d l u, the twelve commonest letters · words in play — what survives every filter · evil mode — the word hides in the largest set of words still consistent with your guesses · #&@! mode — draws only from the crude and bleak words the bank already holds

none of these change what is a win.

· hints — reveal a letter for one stroke · solve — type the word; wrong costs a stroke · textures — each tool draws like itself · tally — guesses left as a fraction (7/8) · compact — alphabet in 2 rows instead of 3 · words left — how many words still fit the board · sound — off by default; ten synthesized sets, each with its own hit, miss, win and lose. pick one to hear it · seed — a code for one word; paste one to play it, or make one from a word (blank = this word) and copy it to share. seeded games don't move the streak
