We just wanted to pop in and wish you a very Merry Christmas and a bright, joyful New Year 🎉 May your holidays be cozy, your snacks plentiful and your word builds absolutely unhinged.[/p][p]First of all, thank you to everyone playing the Cursed Words playtest.[/p][p]
You’ve broken rules, bent letters, turned words into numbers (and numbers into regrets) and then kindly told us exactly what felt great, what felt weird and what made you stare at the screen whispering “wait… what just happened?”[/p][p]That feedback means a lot to us and helps shape the game more than any spreadsheet ever could ❤️[/p][h2]

🧡 Thank You[/h2][p]Cursed Words started as “what if Scrabble slowly lost control” and thanks to you, it’s turning into something bigger, stranger and more delightful with every update. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who’s taken the time to play, test and share feedback so far.[/p][h2]
💤 Holiday Break[/h2][p]We’ll be taking a short break for about two weeks to spend time with family and friends, recharge and give our brains a brief vacation from letters.[/p][p]We’ll be back and fully online again the week of January 5, ready to jump back into feedback, fixes and whatever strange ideas come next.[/p][p]Until then, have a wonderful New Year, enjoy the playtest and may your next run work exactly as planned… or at least fail in a very funny way ✨[/p][p][/p][p]– The Cursed Words Team
