What's New in Hunchboard

1.2

June 12, 2026

What's new in Hunchboard 1.2: • Send a puzzle straight to Hunchboard — spot a Connections grid in Safari, Photos, or any app with a Share button? Share it to Hunchboard and it's ready to solve. No more save-the-screenshot-then-import dance. • Smoother group sessions — the collaborate screen is cleaner, there's a "Copy session code" option so you can hand a friend just the 6-character code, and leaving a session works reliably again. • Red herrings, behaving — when you recolor a group, its red-herring fish now stays with the right group instead of occasionally hopping to the wrong tiles. And a group that's over-connected across all four colors now gets a playful rainbow-striped fish. • Accessibility and polish — clearer labels for screen-reader users, plus assorted layout and reliability fixes. Still free with 20 puzzle credits to start. Puzzle Packs $0.99. No subscription, no ads, no accounts.

Life-changing!

I routinely do the NY Times connections puzzle and this app makes it twice as fun by letting you physically group (or color-code) words so you can physically see them together. It takes away the need to remember which words go together because you can see them right there grouped together. That way you can focus on the fun parts - figuring out which words go together and what the connections among them are. Once you’ve grouped them you can even assign them purple, blue, green, and yellow so you can guess what order is the reverse rainbow. Highly recommend for anyone who plays connections!
