Smartichoke returns to the App Store! It includes a few updates and changes: - A Share button to share your words and scores. - Using a swap while letters are selected will now auto-select all of the other letters for swapping. - Smartichoke used to make common letters more rare in higher levels. This has been removed. (While this made the game more challenging, it also made it less fun to play.)
