Eight new categories Bollywood Hits, TV & Serials, Festivals, Famous Indians, Hollywood, Professions, Household and Places in India join the original five. More than twice what the app launched with. Feel every answer The phone taps you when a word is guessed or passed, so you know it registered without taking it off your forehead. There's a tap for the closing seconds too, and for picking up and rearranging categories. Sound now plays even with the phone on silent. Settings A new panel to turn sound and haptics on or off, remembered between sessions. Rearranging, properly Press and hold a category and it lifts. Drag it and the list flows around it, and now scrolls when you reach the edge — so you can move a category anywhere, not just where the screen happens to be. Pinning works while searching too. Easier word lists Adding your own words now uses chips instead of one long line. Type a word and press comma or Enter. Tap a chip to fix a typo, or × to drop it. Pasting a comma-separated list still works — it splits into chips automatically. Closing the screen by accident no longer loses what you typed, and "Your own words" is always in reach at the top.
