Is there a common name for this game? Does anyone know of it being hosted elsewhere? (lemmy.nz)

It's played by connecting strings of adjoining letters to find words.

I don't want to lose this game if/when the MycenaCave goes offline for good.

So that's a type of wordsearch but a completely unique version

The most basic type of wordsearch uses a pre-defined set of answers, usually visible at the side, and crosses off answers where you go - this one instead appears to be unlimited (you can have any words you find in the grid) with unlimited use of letters (game is just timed.)

Someone could program a recreation of it and make a new dailygame if you wanted to preserve it :)
