We've been very busy and things are changing around here! The past few months have been hard on us - LOTS of bug fixes, performance tweaks, interface redesigns, and digging through code has really let the laundry and household chores pile up, but we made it through! We also added many of the words you have suggested to us so keep them coming! We're excited to announce that you now have THREE game-length options when starting a new game. You can now choose to play a SHORT, MEDIUM or LONG game! Each of these game types will end after the following number of tiles have been played: * SHORT: 50 letter tiles played * MEDIUM: 80 letter tiles played * LONG: 110 letter tiles played We're definitely quite excited by these changes and can't wait for you to try it! So, how long can you last? Let's find out and get playing the "word game your Mom doesn't want you to play!" v1.2.22 also addresses numerous bugs and performance tweaks.
