## What is RackRush?

Challenge players to fast-paced word duels! Build the longest word from your rack of letters before time runs out. No turn waiting — both players play at the same time. Rounds last under a minute; a full match takes about five.

FREE TO PLAY
- Online PvP — Free real-time battles in 9-letter mode. If nobody's free right now, you'll warm up against a bot instead
- Daily Challenge — Everyone gets the same letters; compete on the global leaderboard and build your streak
- Challenge Links — Send a rack to a friend, they play it right in their browser
- Bot Warm-up — Practice in Quick-7 mode against the Easy AI
- Friends & weekly ladder — Add rivals by friend code and climb the Monday-to-Sunday ladder
- Daily Quests — Earn coins, unlock free tile skins

RACKRUSH PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER
- Bot upgrades: Medium & Hard difficulty plus 4 personality bots with unique playstyles
- Extra letter modes: extra solo/practice racks plus extra party/custom racks
- Party Mode: pass & play on one device, local WiFi play, and private invite-code lobbies for up to 8 friends
- Tournament Mode: run brackets and crown a champion
- Detailed match statistics
- Premium customisation: Pro tile skins

HOW TO PLAY
1. Get a rack of random letters
2. Build the longest word you can — bonus tiles multiply your score
3. Submit before the timer runs out
4. The highest total score across the match wins

Fair play guaranteed: every word is checked on our servers, and everyone in the Daily Challenge gets the same rack and bonuses.

Online PvP is free in 9-letter mode. Pro unlocks deeper solo, party, tournament, and custom play options.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.9 — 2026-09-08

Reliability and fairness pass across online play.

- Party: players who leave a match are no longer pulled back into a replay, and round results now reflect the whole table
- Fixed rounds and results occasionally arriving from a finished match
- Daily Challenge: streaks, best scores and the solve timer now record correctly
- More reliable match results and rankings after a player leaves
- Accessibility: lobby buttons stay reachable at the largest text sizes, and Reduce Motion is respected throughout
- Improved privacy protections, including enhanced privacy safeguards for Kids Mode

### 1.0.8 — 2026-09-05

This release is all about the rough edges — the moments where the game did something you didn't ask for.

DAILY CHALLENGE
- Fixed the big one: opening the Daily to look at it no longer used up your attempt for the day. If you peeked at your rack and came back later, the game treated it as played. It doesn't any more.
- Your score for today now stays on screen after you've played, instead of showing zero.
- The best-word reveal now suggests words people actually know, rather than obscure dictionary entries you'd never find.

MATCHES
- Asked for a rematch and the offer timed out? You now get told, on the results screen, instead of being dropped back to the home screen with no explanation.
- The rematch button sits above your round history now, so you don't have to scroll to find it before the offer expires.
- Invalid words are rejected the moment you submit, with a shake and a buzz. Previously they were accepted with a full celebration and only revealed as worthless at the end of the round.

TUTORIAL
- The tutorial no longer runs your round timer while it's explaining. First-time players were losing the round they were being taught to play.
- Moved the Skip button so it stops covering the score.

NOTIFICATIONS
- Tapping a notification when the app is fully closed now takes you where the notification said it would, instead of dumping you on the home screen.

ELSEWHERE
- Music previews in Settings now stop when you leave the screen.
- Tidied up the first-run screens.

Thanks for playing. If something's still not right, the support link on our App Store page reaches a real person.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-06-21

Challenge friends to a live 1v1 match directly from your Rivals list
Rematch requests now send a push notification to your opponent
Bug fixes: rematch timing, party "Play Again", account deletion

### 1.0.5 — 2026-06-12

RackRush 1.0.5 adds RackRush Pro, Daily Quests with coin rewards, unlockable skins, streak tracking, friend codes, Rivals, Sign in with Apple, and a Daily Challenge home screen widget. This update also improves progression, social features, purchase restore, and overall app polish.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-09

Daily Quests — NEW
Take on 3 fresh word challenges every day. Score points, win rounds, play long words, use bonus tiles, and complete the Daily Challenge. Earn rewards and track your quest progress live from the home screen. Progress syncs automatically across every game mode.

 Home Screen — Improved
Redesigned layout fits every iPhone and iPad perfectly — including iPhone SE, landscape mode, and all iPad sizes. No clipping, no scrolling required.

Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Daily Quest progress wasn't saving. Quest completions are now backfilled from your match history so you always get full credit.
