What's New in Kern Word Puzzles
1.1.2
October 13, 2026
Optimized for iPhone Duo. Open or folded, Kern now uses the whole screen: the menu, Wheel, Search and Chain split into two columns on the inner display, with the board as large as it can be and the world picker always in view. The same two-column layouts also work on an iPad held sideways. Puzzles and scoring are unchanged.
