## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.2.1 — 2026-08-15

Bug fixes

• Some Korean dictionary entries wouldn't open — the definitions, examples and audio all failed to load. About 3% of Korean words were affected, and they all open correctly now.
• If a word does fail to load, you now see the error instead of the word you had looked up before it.

Found through an in-app bug report. If something looks wrong, tell us: Settings → Help & Bug Report.

### 3.2.0 — 2026-08-14

NEW: Pair Up — the fastest way to drill a deck

Tap a Korean word, tap its meaning, and watch the pair clear off the board. Pair Up is the quick, playful counterpart to flip-and-grade — and every match plays the word out loud, so each pair doubles as a pronunciation rep.

• Korean down one column, meanings down the other
• Hear every word the moment you match it
• Cleared tiles grow a small garden as the board empties
• No timers, no fail states, no streak to protect — self-paced, like everything else in Flipside

Open any deck and tap "Play Pair Up" to start. It's in the dictionary practice sheet too, so you can drill straight from any TOPIK level or topic.
