I build Crypto Term Game, a word-grouping puzzle for crypto, finance, and AI vocabulary. A first-time player faces two challenges at once: learning the grouping mechanic and understanding unfamiliar terms.
I added an optional Warm-up with 8 familiar words, 2 groups, and unlimited retries before the 16-term daily board. It separates learning the rules from learning the subject. Players can skip it.
The tradeoff: familiar words may make the first success easier, but they do not show the subject matter of the main game. Would you prefer a neutral warm-up, an easier crypto/AI example, or a worked group inside the real puzzle? What would help you move from practice to the daily board?

Definitions help with recognition, but grouping puzzles are really about relationships. I m testing whether the post-game explanation in Crypto Term Game should add one short why these belong together paragraph for each solved category, alongside individual term definitions.
For technical subjects like stablecoin settlement, market depth, agent memory, and inference cost, which explanation would teach more?
