Re: Word evolution game
Deaffrication spreads in Eastern-A, which gets an orthographic update
['çeəʒi̥]

Both Eastern-B and Western have terminal schwa loss with compensatory gemination if the final consonant is not already a geminate, also orthographic updates:
['hea̯ɫː]
héall
['kɔʌ̯ɖɖʐ]

Re: Word evolution game
Note: Corrected one missed change (error originally mine) in the outcomes here:
Northeastern: Devoiced elements in direct proximity to voiced ones become voiced
['ʎeə.ɮi]
hyéaji
Southeastern and Western: Long consonants degeminate following long vowels or diphthongs.
['ea̯ɫ]
éal
['kɔːɖʐ]
kódsz
Some unification of orthographic practices across all varieties also emerges.
