## Version history (last 1 release)

### 1.1 — 2017-01-24

Lots of good stuff in this version!

My friend Jamie kept beating the "hard" computer mode by hundreds of points, so I replaced the brain of the computer player (messy, I know...).  Now the hard mode should challenge even Jamie.  In fact, I'm calling it "Jamie mode"!

The popup ads were a little annoying so they've been toned down quite a bit.

Other minor updates for iOS 10.  Migrated the whole thing to Swift 3!

I hope you enjoy the updates and enjoy Letterby!
