Good job, congrats!
I think I made it glitch by typing a long, nonsense word going further than the width of the screen.
1. Not allowing 2-letter words makes it really difficult to hit certain squares.
2. I discovered you can go back over your own track which saved me when I would have been stuck due to no 2-letter words. This is a positive for me, though.
3. Going back to the very first level with any loss is pretty harsh.
4. Sound effects and music would be great, of course.
5. Is there already code to verify that you can finish a level with the letters you are given? If not that would be good so you don't give players impossible levels.
6. Did the instructions mention that you cannot use a word twice in one level? If so I did not see it, and that caught me by surprise.
7. The letters vanishing right when the train starts robs you of an extra moment where you could be thinking of words. Maybe this could appear somewhere else on the screen instead, like a word balloon from the train.
8. After I played a while, the letters 'M' and 'E' appeared in the middle. of the level for no apparent reason.
9. I got the blue bonus circle once but never figured out what it did.
