New in version 1.2: - You can now cancel a rematch request. If you’ve requested a rematch at the end of a game and the other players don’t join in a timely fashion, you can now hit the “Cancel” button to quit waiting and go on to other things. - We have tweaked the match startup / server selection once again. Make sure all your friends update to WordSnatch 1.2 (or later) in order to be able play together in a match. If you love WordSnatch, be sure to tell all your friends and please consider posting a review. New in version 1.1: - Prefer to play a shorter game? A new option lets you set the size of the letter deck. Choose between 144, 72 and 36 total letters in the game. When you select the smallest deck, the letters q, x and z are omitted. - Want a rematch? You can now touch the rematch button at the end of a multi-player game to invite all of the same players to a rematch. When any player requests a rematch, the other players are sent a message and their rematch button slowly flashes. Once all players have pressed their button, the rematch begins. - Game startup is now faster for multi-player games. - A new algorithm is now used for multi-player games to choose the player who will act as the "server". This change eliminates most match startup problems that occur when one or more of the players has a slower, less reliable connection. Unfortunately, this change means that a player using this version of WordSnatch can only join a match with others who are also using version 1.1 or above.
