[1.5.2] - 2024-03-04 08:26PM

Fixed

• Time-to-complete and stars collected averages were way off due to bug that was fixed in 1.5.1. Resets the counts for users when first running this fixed versions and averages should be correct thereafter.

[1.5.1] - 2024-02-08 07:31PM

Fixed

[1.4.0] - 2022-03-05 10:43AM

Changed

• Web Game: Help modal no longer inlcudes animated illustrations. Removed in favor of in-game onboarding.

[1.3.0] - 2022-03-02 07:41PM

Added

[1.2.0] - 2022-02-17 02:13PM

Fixed

• Resuming a paused game would corrupt the internal assumed facts about the game state and could put it into a condition in which it could become unsolvable

Added

• New default interface, "Lean & Clean": HTML instead of Canvas/WebGL (Phaser); fewer, quicker transitions, fewer and smaller network resources (42K of JavaScript vs. 1.3M), and more performant — but less true to original iOS game and less forgiving tap/click targets. This document will refer to the original implementation as "Classic" and the new edition as "Vanilla"
• Option to play untimed games
• Settings to select interface style, timed or untimed games

Changed

• Rejected words now add to guess count

[1.1.7] - 2022-02-13 06:02PM

Added

• News page, publicly accessible changelog

Changed

• Web Game (Classic): Additional mitigation for improperly locked-in tiles (prevent action on tiles with impending action; more accurate tracking of tile's in-action state); however, still unable to duplicate
