What's New in WordQuest
1.0.13
October 14, 2026
Clearer spelling lessons. With American spelling on, the Magic W rule now teaches W-A-R as in war and warm, and W-O-R with an "er" sound, as in word and work; the vowel sorting game uses "aw" as in claw; and one clue asks about a movie theater. The -ssion lesson asks for session instead of television, and two -tion and -ssion questions say the whole word before asking how it ends.
