**LIMITATIONS**
- Currently words-based only. I'm working on the numbers one soon, but requires a bit more of a complex methodology to build. Be patient! - (not quite a limitation) but get pencil and paper ready, the Game-Master (or Mistress) will not repeat the letters (and subsequently will not be able to tell you all the possible word results from the initial selection
Enjoy!
**Updates** [v1.01 updated 20180730]
[v1.02 updated 20180815] Upon request - now added 2 options at the beginning for user to ask gamemaster to
- pick letters one by one, which is a bit slower but better for kids to take time and write down letters - pick 'n' number of consonants and then vowels, which is faster for the impatient ones! ;P
