I've been working on a JavaScript game. Would love your feedback on the design, gameplay, and any bugs you find. Will continue to work on and improve the game over the next few weeks. Thanks!

I'm not a native speaker, so I may be not the target audience but I found it too hard. I failed to find a single legitimate word without cheating (see below).

Actually the fastest and the most efficient way to play this game is just to pick a random letter and to roll it around the game field, hoping it will highlight something. Worked pretty well!  If you want to discourage that style of play, a short delay before the word is highlighted might help.

The design is very clear and nice - compliments for that! I didn't quite understand the purpose of green and orange letters though.

Thanks for the feedback pladmi. I've tried to make it a bit harder to find words randomly by only highlighting words after you've released the mouse / lifted your finger. I also tried to reduce the difficulty by slowing the pace at which new rows are added.
