I noticed this made it harder two, but thinking more about it I started to wonder if that would make it possibly to just spam it for the lower length words and make it easy to brute force within the 30 second timer. After that I started only looking at the letters as a reference occasionally and trying to think through combinations in my head while looking at some of the blank space, and I found it actually helped a lot! I wonder if staring at whatever layout the game gives actually ends up anchoring in a way that hinders.
