That is the game I was recalling. As I suspected, it is not seemingly
maintained. It may be worth getting in touch with the original developers if
you can ( Muriel de Souza Godoi and Junia Coutinho Anacleto). I think it was
well conceived and worth learning from. Junia is still at USC as far as I
know.

Of course. It seems you have some interesting ideas that are worth
exploring. (It would be an interesting enhancement to let the word lists be
locally generated as an option, e.g., this week's vocabulary words, etc.)

regards.
