@_saikishore Pretty good for a 1st attempt! We use the dictionaries from the Hunspell project. Looking to upgrade it soon. Glad it was fun!

@stacklewordgame Thanks, Prashant. I presume that you have set 22 as "Gold" score because that would theoretically be the longest chain possible. As in a score above 22 cannot exist; as per the rules of the game... but I would wager that probably a 22-score solution is not possible for every starting Stackle set. For instance, I wrote a Stackle solver (basing the words from the Hunspell dictionary, and a few heuristics -- such as letter distribution; favoring maximum amount of words without the invalid letters present, as we go down the stack); and the maximum score that I could reach was only 17 (for the TOWER > ROWED Stackle). Please do let me know if you have 22-score solution for the TOWER > ROWED Stackle; and also if there is a way to establish a mathematical certainty of a 22-score solution for the puzzles that you have created. I would also love to know the reasoning behind the difficulty of puzzles that you have set in your JS code. Thanks! :)

@_saikishore Hi Sai, we actually run scripts to verify that every set of start words has one or more gold stackle solutions before we schedule them for a daily puzzle. TOWER > ROWED has multiple 22 solutions. In fact, some of the users got gold stackles!

Stackle is a slightly challenging daily word game comparable to Sudoku in its complexity. The difficulty of the puzzle varies based on the start words of the game. The social sharing features make this daily word puzzle interesting and fun.
