What's New in Word & War

1.3.3

May 13, 2026

What's new in 1.3.3 WORD DUEL — INPUT & CHALLENGE HARDENING • Input validation is stricter end to end: the validate API now rejects guesses that are the wrong length, contain non-letter characters, or include repeated letters in Hard mode — with clear error messages instead of a silent fail. • The "Give Up" flow now reveals the correct answer so you always walk away having learned the word. • Challenge accept screen restyled to match the Word Duel intro for a more cohesive feel. WORD BLITZ — ALL POSSIBLE WORDS SCORING • All Possible Words now groups discovered words into scoring tiers (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary) so you can see how impressive each find really is. • Words within each tier are sorted by length, then alphabetically — easier to scan and compare across runs. • History modal: improved backdrop behavior and fixed header interactions so the list feels more solid when scrolling through past games. RIDDLER AI — CHALLENGE REPLAY & iPAD UPDATES • Challenge replay is more reliable: fixes for edge cases where challenge riddle data could fail to load. • iPad layout improvements for a better experience on larger screens. WEB — RIDDLER AI LEADERBOARDS & SCREENSHOTS • Riddler AI now has its own leaderboard tab on the website — career, best game, and best average, just like the other games. • The home page and mobile-app page feature Riddler AI tiles with art and a compact "Get the App" call-to-action. • The store screenshot carousel on the web has been rebuilt with 12 updated screenshots including Riddler AI, equal-width slides, and smoother panning. HOME — DASHBOARD POLISH • Softer card outline opacity across the home mosaic for a cleaner, less busy look. Tower Defense keeps a brighter rim so the border reads on its light, colorful thumbnail. Thanks for playing Word & War!

I play everyday

This game combines word games and tower defense SO WELL it’s incredible how fun it is

Weirdly addictive

Okay so word puzzles AND tower defense in the same app sounds like a weird mashup but it totally works. Been going back to the word duel mode way more than I expected. It scratches that Wordle itch but with actual stakes when you’re head to head. The TD game is a nice change of pace. Feels like something a real gamer built, not a cookie cutter app store thing.
