One the Gamble cheat that makes a random tile 0 or 100 it seems to make the letter tiles all fall away but looking at the tile set afterwards there are no tiles worth zero or 100?

Can there be a button to remove the tiles you've played in a go from the board? If I play a word and it's wrong I have to drag each of the tiles back to my rack one by one

I’ve bought and have been playing Dredge. I love a fishing game. It’s one of my top criteria for a good game, and Dredge is excellent.

Love that you can turn off the monsters and the anxiety effects (I did) if you want just a bit of cosy fishing and mystery solving (I do).

It did, but blazing a way with a pulse rifle never got boring.
