What's New in Boxy Foxy
1.0.1
June 9, 2026
First update — quality of life pass: Online matchmaking now gracefully falls back to a vs-Foxy practice round after 30s of no opponent, so the flow never gets stuck. Accessibility: VoiceOver-navigable 8x8 board, Differentiate Without Color glyphs on owned tiles, Reduce Motion sweep, and tightened contrast on the rarity badges. Results recap now shows only the words you and your opponent actually played instead of the full 1,500-word dictionary solve.
