What's New in RuneWords

1.2.0

October 10, 2026

Switch between Wheel and Clues on the same crossword; solved words stay in place. This release adds 90 bundled daily puzzles scheduled from October 8, 2026 through January 5, 2027 (UTC). Replay past dates without another daily reward; after the final date, the game says the schedule has ended instead of reusing campaign boards. Share a campaign or daily board as a Friend Puzzle by link or code. Friend puzzles offer free hints and award no coins or campaign progress. If your first campaign clear used hints, replay without them to earn that board's rune-free crown; the crown bonus is awarded once per board. Improves board fit on iPhone and includes the reported dictionary bonus-word fix.
