CozyAnimals
Cozy Animals is a cozy word game where you find the animal name given letters and clues. It is kind of a cross between hangman, scrambled words and a crossword clue sentence.
Very cozy jam submission since there wasn't too much time put into this game so far.
I actually have been prototyping two games for submission, this one is currently very playable so here you go. The other game is a twist on Pacman where a mouse is chased by cats, or a chicken and/or rabbit is chased by foxes. We'll see, enjoy the cozy.

A fun approach. Something to consider for a different (probably more complicated) approach:
Start with 10 'guessing points'
Make buying a letter cost 1 point.
Make buying a random square (1 out of 16 for instance) of the picture cost 1 point.
Make buying a hint cost 1 point.
If it is guessed (typed correctly) before 10 points: Bonus points. If it didn't happen: Negative score for that one.
Other than that, I'd like the letters to all be present, for instance: D E E R (instead of D E R) for deer.
The selection shows the number of the animal when hovering over the squares with question marks in my browser, this might give people a small advantage (who knows, maybe this will be played at top level someday).
Thanks for all those ideas. I agree those ideas would be a great gamify step. There is a small hidden thing going on by the way, as you use hints currently there is a persistent count down going on. When you solve all animals, you are given a star rating based on how much you asked for hints, and there is a total time it took you from when you first started finding your first animal to when you've found them all.
I may or may not do more with that submission since I'm also working on another submission that will be a pac man type cat/mouse maze chase perhaps.
Thanks again for your comments and suggestions.
