BATTLE UP TO SIX PLAYERS NEARBY Nearby Battle is now a party. Two to six phones in the same room link up under the battle names you choose, race to pick the battle together, and start once everyone is ready. Every player keeps their own color on every screen, the live board shows each rival's characters as you type, and the finish flows straight into ranked standings, ties included. KEEP THE ROOM TOGETHER • SAME THEME plays another round on a fresh passage. NEW SETUP goes back to the battle picker. Nobody has to search again. • A dropped connection doesn't stop the race. Typing and the clock keep going while a player has fifteen seconds to reconnect, and if the host drops out, another phone takes over. • Screens stay awake while the group is together, so an idle phone doesn't drop out. • If a nearby phone needs an update to join, the search screen says so. PICK YOUR BATTLE ON THE CARDS Home is cleaner. 1 PLAYER, Online and Invite a Friend now open illustrated Words, Numbers and Glyphs cards, so you choose what you'll type right before the fight. Online, the host's pick is played, and the lobby tells you when it differs from yours. SHUFFLED GLYPH KEYBOARDS, SHARED Every Glyphs battle deals a freshly shuffled keyboard, and in multiplayer every player gets the exact same layout, so nobody starts with an advantage. A CLEARER BATTLE SCREEN • TOTAL BONUS sits beside the clock and names what you've earned: PUNCTUATION, CAPS, NUM and SYM. • A slimmer TYPE TO BATTLE prompt gives the passage more room. • The battle header shows the era and the time you picked. • Sound effects have their own SFX switch. FIXES AND POLISH • When every rival leaves mid-race, you take a forfeit win that doesn't count toward wins or badges. • Home fits iPhone SE at full size, and larger text sizes fit Home, the channel screen and standings. • Online Glyphs lobbies no longer stall on the keyboard check. • VoiceOver reads the SFX switch as a switch.
