The best word game mechanics no one knows about
271Lingo's custom level and custom mechanic scene has so much in it, and the best custom mechanics are absolutely fantastic designs, but you need to know the basegame to appreciate them, and they are customs, so like, no one knows about them.
This video shows: (Green Tea, Checkerboards, Pink/Salmone). Oh and I had nothing to do with salmone's development so if the checkerboard section seems too self-complimentary you can skip to there.

Thoughts on the basegame of Lingo: This game has seriously changed my perception and way I think about word game mechanics significantly. It's similar to The Witness in that there is a massive world and tons of mechanics you need to experiment to figure out, and like Antichamber in the navigation.
