Some more feedback after trying to play the game again in a mode where I'd at least be certain of the outcome of my own moves:
- Opening the dictionary lookup requires two clicks, and then a third to focus the text entry. It needs a hotkey, and must focus the text entry no matter how it was opened.
- I'd expect to be able to dismiss the dictionary lookup page with Esc, but it requires yet one click.
- The dictionary lookup covers up parts of the board, and makes the visible parts hard to read. This makes looking up multiple words in one go pretty inconvenient.
Agree on all front re: the dictionary ergonomics. We'll look at smoothing that out (mobile is currently the blocker there, but everything is solvable :)
Re: visualizations, you make great points. Definitely something for us to mull over, and I do think some amount of this will make it into the game (at least behind an option, which defaults to on).

Thanks for the great notes!
