Prime number games now have access to HINTS. When HINTS is active, the find hints algorithm will always be called, so the soft Hints button is no longer needed. When playing any word type game, players will have the option to use a four row alpha keyboard instead of the standard QWERTY keyboard. The keys on the keyboard will be 25% larger, reducing the chance of clicking the wrong key when entering your guess.

Expanded the valid word list for the 4 and 5 letter Spanish word games.

February 29, 2024

Genius word games were added in addition to the English and Spanish word games. This will be a 4 and 5-letter English word game for people that have a large vocabulary and want an extra challenge because it will include all 4 and 5-letter words where the regular English games only contain common words. Even if you only have an average vocabulary, you might want to play because at the end you are given the definition of the answer, so you have the opportunity to learn a new word each day. A soft HINTS button was added that only builds the HINTS list and does not select a word from the list. This is available when Hints is active and the HINTS list has not been created because an unfinished game has been selected or Hints was not active when previous guesses were entered. When a player uses HINTS to get a guess to use, the definition will be displayed for the given hint word selected. This will only be for regular and genius English word games and when the Show Definition feature is turned on.

On the HOW TO PLAY screen the description of the Green Button was corrected. It gave the description of the Clear Button by mistake.

HINTS has been added to the English and Spanish word games. When this feature is active, after each guess entry, the number of available words left that meet all the color hints uncovered from all the previous guesses will be displayed. A new button will be displayed letting the player have one of the available words selected when the player is stuck trying to make a valid guess. When this button is used, the guess will be marked, resulting in no star being assigned to the final score. A new game option is added to indicate whether a player wishes to have the star status displayed next to each guess. Currently, this status is only displayed when Smart Mode is being used for the game.

A fix was made to the game setting database for brand-new users that saved changes to their game settings while playing the game their first time.

December 27, 2023

Fixed bug in Erudition Challenge where it would not accept a 3 to 8 letter English word because of adding definitions to the list of valid words. Validation should only look for the word and not the attached definition.

When a guess is made that is not a valid word, an exclamation warning mark will be attached to the guess. This will result in no star being attached to the final score because a perfect game has not been played.

Dates are displayed in Spanish when user selects the Español radio button and does not check the English Translation check box. Otherwise dates will remain in English.

December 20, 2023

Players can now play 4-5 letter Spanish words in addition to the 3-8 letter English words. These two new game types can be selected on the Game Type Preference screen. Just select the Español radio button at the top and you will then have the option to select 4-5 letter Spanish words. You can also check the box for English Translation. This is for individuals that are learning Spanish. For those individuals, the English translation will be given at the end of a game.
