The License Plate Word Game Behind WordSQD
WordSQD grew from a car game: see three letters on a license plate, then find the best word that uses those letters in order.
How to play it from a plate
Take three letters from a license plate and find a word containing those letters in the same order. The letters may have other letters between them.
Sample puzzles
Plate letters: LMP
Possible words: LAMP, LIMP, LAMPSHADE. The letters can be consecutive or spread out.
Plate letters: RST
Possible words: ROAST, RESIST, RESTART. STAR fails because S appears before R.
Letter order is the whole constraint
Three letters define a left-to-right path through the answer. A candidate can contain all three and still fail if one appears too early.
