Word Rage!

The leaderboard has been rebuilt. It reads like an arcade high-score table now — one line per player, the top three in medal colours — and your own line is the only one highlighted, so you can find yourself at a glance. Finish a run and the game tells you where that score would place you in the world, and offers to keep it. Players without a name no longer occupy places in the ranking, so the position you are shown is the position you actually hold. • Four-letter words arrive a little slower, and the strange ones are gone. Rare words were swapped out for familiar ones, and words like TIER, SEED and SHED that had been filtered out by mistake are back. • Sound is more reliable when several things happen at once. • When a word gets away, the game names the word you were building, not the one it had in mind. • The heart on a bonus word disappears once you miss it, instead of promising a life you can no longer earn. • The keyboard stays off screen until a run starts.
