How to play

Type a sentence to build the grid, then click two cells to swap them or drag one onto another. You can also switch to a square grid or two columns, shuffle, and copy.

What it's made of

Plain DOM and CSS Grid, split character by character. Chinese, English, and emoji each count as one cell.

Limits

64 cells at most. Anything past that is cut.

What I was thinking while building it

The part I keep coming back to is Shuffle. Type a whole sentence, press it once, and the words collapse into a heap of characters you no longer recognize. Then you click them back, one at a time. Useless, and you still want another go.
