My first comment was flagged (since deleted) due to AI summary. Sorry about that.

---- I loved Jonah Warren's awesome Word After Word ( https://playfulsystems.itch.io/word-after-word ), but wanted to be able to play with my phone or with remote friends/family.

So Afterword was the result. Disclosure that this is mostly vibecoded, however Kimi K3, and then Luna Max did a fantastic job I think. The n-gram corpus was expanded and independently recompiled from Google n-gram 2019 corpus.

This remake is blessed by Jonah, and is intended to be a free, non-commercial way to hopefully expand enjoyment of his original concept/game. I think it keeps the spirit of Jonah's game, while adding some extra features that make sense for multiplayer etc. I think it came out pretty decently.

Any feedback is appreciated.
