Did pretty well with a boggle clone. I like that it tries to do a single html file (I didn't ask for that but was pleasantly surprised). It didn't include dictionary validation so needed a couple of prompts. Touch selection on mobile isn't the greatest but I've seen plenty worse

Cool — if only diagonals were easier. ;-) (Hopefully I'm being constructive here.)

Yep I tried to have it improve that but actually didn't use the word 'diagonal' in the prompt. I bet it would have done better if I had..

Had it try to improve Diagonal selection but didn't seem to help much
