Really Fun Game 1. for the version without a timer, i would suggest hints not a skip. Maybe a letter placed in the right order in the blocks to guide the player 2. Get a final score but not out of 18. Make it out of 100 and adjust the weighting of the scores by the length and difficulty of the word
To optimize for player reward and increased time spent on the game, I would score it out of 72, 4 pts per word as follows:
-1pt for timer running out.
-1pt for 1 letter hint.
-1pt for 2 letter hint.
-1pt for skip (only available after the above).
That should let players aim for top points, but still feel like they get some reward for figuring it out, and keeps players in the game even if they can't figure one word out.
