The games where you connect letters to find hidden words are already a genre, as there are thousands, all of them identical. And while I find them quite fun, all the ones I've encountered are bloated with video ads, microtransactions, excessive gamification, and all kinds of nonsense – not to mention the outdated designs! Unfortunately, these problems make them pretty much unplayable after a while, which is why I decided to create one myself.

I didn't want to put the genre upside down, or to create a masterpiece. I just wanted to distill the essence of the genre into a game that is clean, slick, and free of nonsense and distractions.

So, I created a Python script to generate the puzzles (which was very fun!), put together a prototype, polished things a little bit... And eventually released the game to Google Play!
