This is more a rant than a recommendation. It's a ripoff of NYT which is fine but it's very buggy.

The words aren't unambiguous and I can't guess the same word twice. Meaning for example I guessed a word that ends in "A" but took the wrong "A" so I can't choose the combination with the right "A" anymore. This is true for at least 4 of the 7 words today! I had to use two devices and private windows to circumvent this problem.

Also I found 6 out of 7 and it's impossible to find a spangram which exists according to the rules and I don't get hints anymore. Some unused words are just isolated.

I even found the spangram. It doesn't span from one side to the other and it's ambiguous for no reason. One letter isn't used. I'm fine with letters that aren't part of solution words. It changes the gameplay and not necessarily in a good or bad way. It's everything else that sucks.
