WordPong

A word association game, powered by the Wordnik API

Go play at wordpong.heroku.com

To Do

• Params string can get too long if used for the blacklist
• When resorting to a random word response, ensure the random word is an adjective
• Keep Pings within a certain level of accessibility (corpus frequency)
• Add an "I Don't Know" option
• Anagram mode
• Add a "Gimme a hint" option
• update layout centering when switching play modes
• Store the blacklist in a cookie (maybe ezcookie supports arrays?), not a param.
