You can reshuffle the letters also here.

If you form the word "DORM" and you click on the "D", the letter "D" will go back into your hand. Then you can click on the letter "F" and it will go to the previous position of the "D" forming the word "FORM":

I alsoThink this is a good idea. The ability to move letters around in your hand helps to visualize word possibilities before actually playing a word.

You can move the letters around, as I explained in my previous comment.

That's too bad. The current system is a much more tedious way to explore word possibilities, and it makes gameplay clunky and frustrating. When I'm playing with friends who like word games, it's a major caveat.

Fourthed, I was expecting to be able to move tiles around more easily while considering words. I appreciate that it's a significant change to implement, though.

The approach to shuffling letters here is not the same as in Letter Tycoon and Hardback. Those games will do a random shuffling of the letters as opposed to the need to explicitly move letters around in an awkward manner here. The random shuffling provided by the other games provides an insight as to potential words that you don't get by doing your own shuffling.

I like this game very much and am pleased overall with the implementation. I just get frustrated at not having the random shuffling capability that I frequently use in the other word games.
