I play a lot of word games. Competitive, singleplayer, silly, serious… I like messing around with all the weird and wonderful combinations the English language has to offer. I am used to the ebb and flow of word games, to the way consonants feel, to the hunt for vowels. They comfort me. Which is why discovering that Lumicon is unforgivingly difficult right off the bat was like a smack into a refreshing brick wall.
