To optimize for player reward and increased time spent on the game, I would score it out of 72, 4 pts per word as follows:

-1pt for timer running out.

-1pt for 1 letter hint.

-1pt for 2 letter hint.

-1pt for skip (only available after the above).

That should let players aim for top points, but still feel like they get some reward for figuring it out, and keeps players in the game even if they can't figure one word out.

100%.

Ignoring the fact that sometimes founders feel the need to put their stamp on everything, for startups and scaleups that haven't progressed to corporate slog, I think it's near impossible for even the best staff designer in the world to arrive at the optimum website/deck/infographic/widget without founder or leader feedback.

The key ingredient is their insight. That's what sets any startup apart. Otherwise the designer would be the founder.

Well maybe another Mozilla? The point is the ecosystem needs variety and there are people who could afford to create that.

How many billionaires have made their fortunes through the web? Surely some of them care enough about preventing a monoculture to foot the bill for an independent browser development team - if not for profit, for the greater good. Consider it philanthropy.
