2021


I wonder if Ukraine has been removed from the exclusion list since then. A quick Google search says that the keyboards layouts are different from Russian keyboards.


I was thinking the same thing.

Seems like the safest would be standard Russian keyboard layout (or maybe just adding the reg keys mentioned)

Also makes me wonder if installing a specific Chinese keyboard could have the same effect (for Chinese made ransomware or maybe even North Korean). Or perhaps they do other checks ?


Could check month/date/time formats


Wouldn't that exclude a ton of countries though ? Russia covers a lot of time zones.


Syria may get removed soon, seeing as now a USA aligned country.

Really nice game, congrats! Just a small note: I just tried and swapped two identical letters, effectively yielding my turn. Not sure if this allowed by design.


Good point, I think we discussed this in the past and it shouldn't be — which we promptly forgot! Will amend. (and thanks!)


I hadn't thought of doing this! But yeah, I agree with what you concluded previously - passing turn is too powerful, I think.
