Very similar to many of the pangram games out there, this version has the following features: - Hints: The hints can be turned on/off, and can be regenerated. - Stats: Your progress over time is recorded. - Different views. You can get a line view of the letters OR a circular view. - Found words: You can sort by most recent, or alphabetically. - Prefix/Suffix feature: To avoid a bit of tedium, you can enter a prefix (or suffix) and it will apply it to any of the found words to see if any more words are found. Thanks for playing!
