Middleman - Updating my free word game from player feedback

I shared an early version of Middleman here a few days ago. Since then, I put it on itch.io as a free browser game, and someone chose to pay $30 for it. That's $30 gross from one payment, but seeing someone support a game they could play for free felt pretty great. The idea is to find one word that connects two others: HORSE → SHOE → LACE makes HORSESHOE and SHOELACE. I've also been updating it from player feedback: Daily: three shared word bridges. Rush: solve as many as you can in
