Played Wordatro I was hoping for a game more like wordle than Scrabble. I’m not great at figuring out anagrams in my head so I didn’t enjoy the game as much as I hoped. Minute cryptic is my current word game of choice!

My steam deck keeps turning on I think it’s from turning my xbox controller on but I’m not using the controller with it. Does the steam deck turn on for reasons other than pressing the power button or charging for anyone else?
