Comment on Show HN: A word game a friend and I built. How did we do?

Nice concept! What was your inspiration?

Just a bit of feedback, the tutorial is a bit long and I wonder if you could have instead written instructions briefly explaining the play?

Also, this has been added to the HN Arcade :) https://hnarcade.com/games/games/subletters

Thank you for your feedback! We started with just written rules, but those just kept growing, and nobody was reading them anyway. We figured those that need guidance will learn best by guided doing, hence the move to an interactive tutorial. And those that don't can dismiss it once.

Did you feel like it was too long as in wholly unnecessary, or that it would be nicer if it was just more concise?

My friend used to play this game in long car rides with his family, and he wanted to turn that memory into something others could enjoy as well.
