1. A storage subsystem holding instructions executable by a logic subsystem to:
- for each of a plurality of empty game-object locations in a game interface, remove a remaining game-object from a pool of game-objects and load that removed game-object into that empty game-object location to construct a candidate game interface that is fully loaded with game-objects;
if the candidate game interface violates an intra-game rule set, reject the candidate game interface; and
if the candidate game interface does not violate the intra-game rule set, deploy the candidate game interface as an approved game interface.

Abstract
A game interface having multiple game-object locations is constructed by removing a remaining game-object from a pool of game-objects and loading that removed game-object into an empty game-object location for each of the game-object locations. A candidate game interface that is fully loaded with game-objects is compared to a rule set. A candidate game interface is rejected if it violates the rule set. If a candidate game interface does not violate the rule set, the candidate game interface is deployed to a gaming environment as an approved game interface.

10. A method for a computing device, comprising:
-
generating one or more candidate game interfaces, each candidate game interface including a plurality of letters of an alphabetic system having corresponding game-object locations within the candidate game interface; comparing the one or more candidate game interfaces to an intra-game rule set; if at least one candidate game interface of the one or more candidate game interfaces satisfies the intra-game rule set, promoting the at least one candidate game interface to an approved game interface; and deploying the approved game interface to a gaming environment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A storage subsystem holding instructions executable by a logic subsystem to:
-
for each of sixteen empty word-game-object locations in a word-game interface forming a four-by-four matrix of word-game-object locations, remove a remaining word-game-object from a pool of word-game-objects and load that removed word-game-object into that empty word-game-object location to construct a candidate word-game interface that is fully loaded with word-game-objects, each word-game-object including a letter or a combination of two or more letters; if the candidate word-game interface does not violate an intra-game rule set and does not violate an inter-game rule set, deploy the candidate word-game interface as an approved word-game interface by initiating delivery of the approved word-game interface to a remote computing device over a communications network; the intra-game rule set defining a minimum threshold number of words formed from each letter of each candidate game interface; and the inter-game rule set defining a maximum threshold number of words of each candidate game interface shared with one or more preceding deployed approved game interfaces.
