Pocket Words
Pocket Words
This is a strategic word-building game played on a compact grid. You place letter tiles to form words and score points, using bonus spaces to multiply your score. As you play, some tiles will become confirmed, meaning the next time they’re used in a word, they’ll explode and clear themselves from the board.
That twist forces you to think ahead. Every placement affects future turns, and every word can reshape the board.
You can also use power-ups to manipulate tiles, replace letters, or remove confirmed tiles when things get tight. The goal is simple: build smart words, manage risk, and push your score as high as possible!
Disclamer!
The words are english words only. There might be words missing, if you find any contact me!

I've developed a game called Freeword. You can find it here https://freewordx.com . I'm using multiple free online dictionaries in case of COR failures and I'm building a customized dictionary in the game. The Help/Settings button will give you the gameplay. Share the daily challenge with like-minded friends using email or WhatsApp. Email me on darrylatfreewordxdotcom and I'll send you more details about the dictionaries I'm using. Too long to describe here.

What word list are you using? If the "words missing" were obscure ones, I'd get it, but it looks like your list doesn't have "pigs", which falls into the "ultracommon" category.
I've used a mix of datasets, most of them were full of nonsensical words and those lists were still missing a lot of common words.
Honestly it was surprisingly difficulty to find one good enough.
Oh, I totally get that. At some point I came across SCOWL, which was usefully separated into tiers based on how common the words were, but I don't know what its current status is. You can also take a look at https://www.spreadthewordlist.com/, which is designed to be an open-source list; it's crossword-oriented, so there may be phrases in there, but it might still be a useful starting point (I think it's also a scored list, but I'm not sure).
This seem really helpful, thanks!
