Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. As a man who values clear communication and correct syntax, Typochondria speaks to my soul—and my anxiety. It turns the tedious task of proofreading into a high-stakes race against the clock. The concept is refreshingly original for a mobile word game, moving away from simple anagrams toward actual contextual literacy.
It’s a bit of a niche appeal, obviously. If you don't care about the difference between 'their' and 'there,' you'll hate this. But for those of us who twitch at a misplaced apostrophe, it’s a bizarrely satisfying challenge. My only real complaint is that the text fragments can get repetitive after a while, and I’d like to see more variety in the 'genres' of text you’re editing. Still, it’s a smart, clean little game that respects the player's intelligence.
