Another fun project, this time called WordScramble. You’re given an 8-letter word and are tasked with finding as many unique words as you can based on the letters in your assigned root word.
From a Swift(UI) perspective it involved a List, TextField and Alert – pretty straightforward things now. More interesting were the aspects of importing a text file, checking words against an Objective-C dictionary (that’s a mess) and setting/keeping scores.
One frustration – I couldn’t find a way, and it appears that SwiftUI doesn’t offer a convenient way – to allow the app to return focus to the TextField in order to allow the user to quickly enter more words. It’s a bit of a bad experience in the current state.
