Reading the feedback
The game awards points based on word length, longer words score higher. The same word cannot be submitted twice, and progress is saved automatically so results persist. The site classifies progress into skill levels by number of words found: Beginner (fewer than 10), Intermediate (10 to 19), and Master (20+), providing immediate post-action classification.
