Troubleshooting and FAQ

Null and refusal mean different things

loadWordList and readWordLists return null for unsupported lengths. decodeHidden and decodeGuesses return null for invalid size/alphabet codes. kanaFamily returns null when a character has no gojūon family; the long bar is such a character. A mounted game can be null while its list loads or after a failed setup: await ready and inspect it.

A submission instead returns {game,refused}. too-short and not-a-word leave the guess unaccepted, while refused:null means acceptance. Exact kana bases with wrong size/voicing do not win. A missing interpolation value stays in braces.

Stable daily and host input

Invalid dates and time zones throw; an empty daily pool or invalid count is not a valid puzzle. Pin pool contents and ordering for shared daily answers. If multiple elements react to one key, use the focused native element or a mount keyboardTarget; editable inputs are ignored. Destroy removed mounts to release listeners. If an element appears unregistered, import /element/define or call defineGame with an available registry. See embeds, daily and the string list.
