### 5/5 — Please fix multiplayer matches

*2026-06-25, version 6.0*

Right now you cannot play a match with another player unless you are both looking for a match at the exact same moment. It should allow you to start a match and ask for a player allow you to complete the board and then when another person seeks a game they should be matched up to your results when they do their own puzzle and then you should both just have the results revealed to you the next time you check in on the app. Because two people are never going to be searching at the exact same moment.
