For those wondering why there are downvotes, the site immediately asks to connect your crypto wallet and won't stop.

Warning: Do not lick on the link.

Fair point — really valuable feedback, thank you. The dapp is still early and rough around the edges, and the wallet-first flow is a good example: I took the easy dev path — connect a wallet and your data gets tied to that address. Simple to build, but clearly the wrong UX choice.

You're right, nobody should be forced to connect a wallet just to try the app. I'll work on changing this — the plan is to let users explore and watch freely, and only prompt for a wallet when they want to save words.

For now and for better security, anyone interested can create a throwaway MetaMask wallet to try it — no gas needed, it's just wallet connect + SIWE sign-in for identity. (No other transactions will ever be issued.)
