I like it! Not immediately intuitive but at least after my first try I got a good cyberpunk corporation name (ERTAC) and the 17 y.o. founder's favorite beverage (SESPI).

Yeah exactly. I can't figure out what the hell I should be doing.
It's just frustrating. It might as well be "Numbtris" where you have to guess the number, and all you're told, "Make a number," and every digit you place is "wrong".
And worse, you only get five guesses per row, so if you get something wrong, you can't ever fix your guess .. or rather, if you do, you'll end up with cells unfilled.
Not to mention using red/green making it rather hard for some people.
This is buggy. Got to a state where there was only one place to put it, and the console kept printing "Invalid placement", and there was nothing to do. Console also complained about bad object access, where you're trying to use a int timestamp as a key, where it expects a string. Also the console is littered with debug statements. A bit too early to post on HN imo.
If you open up the browser console, it has an array printed of all of the words that you're apparently supposed to fill in. When you place a letter or pair of letters, it's the bottom-most one that will be set where you click

This is great. Presenting something abstract in the form of something familiar is always fun, and preserving the state to prevent replaying (incognito and tampering aside) makes it easier to share without everyone being a Robert.

The objective is stated "make the letters green", but you're not sure why they might be green.
