1. Use every letter on the donut to spell a word.
2. Letters in the word must be adjacent to each other on the donut.
3. You can go clockwise or counterclockwise.
4. When you find a word, the next word to find appears.
5. Go fast. Go slow. Enjoy.

New Coney Letter Feature: One letter from each word is randomly selected as the "coney letter" and displayed as an interactive circle in the center of the donut. This special letter is adjacent to every other letter on the donut, making it easier to form words. You can click and drag from/to the center circle just like the donut segments.

• isAdjacent() - Standard adjacency check for letters on the donut
• coneyIsAdjacent() - Special adjacency check where a designated "coney letter" is adjacent to every other letter

The coney letter system works by:

1. Randomly selecting one letter from each target word as the "coney letter"
2. Removing that letter from the donut display (creating a complete circle with remaining letters)
3. Displaying the coney letter as an interactive circle in the center
4. Using special adjacency rules where the center letter connects to any donut letter
5. Validating completed words against the full original target word

This revisits the gameplay from a 2002 Observable notebook I made called "find a (big) word, rings".

• Main game uses random words from the Wordnik word game list
• Birds version uses Wikipedia's List of Birds By Common Name with images
