Word Spies
In this quick reaction word game, you command a high-security checkpoint where split-second pattern recognition is your only defense against deep-state sabotage. Scrutinize agents' incoming codewords to identify statistically improbable 'fakes' before the timer expires. Let in too many spies and the facility is infiltrated!

I like the concept but...the words I went out on were ABYRENE, AURILLIAN, and IMPASIVE, which as far as I can tell are, you know, not words. I guess they could be words in a way that CKOFUTAU can't be, but still, it's a little weird to be playing "identify the fake word" and lose because you identified fake words.
EDIT: when I restarted, I was given WORRY, USURP, ESTOP. Which is unfortunate because all three of them are words...
What? Those seem like perfectly cromulent words ;)
Thanks for the feedback! 1.2 will use a reviewed dictionary for the words instead of on the fly generation - that should hopefully help resolve this kind of issue, but let me know if you see other oddities.
