What's New in Words in Progress

2022.1.5 (1.5.0)

December 17, 2024

New Features ● We’ve got a shiny new icon! We hope it better reflects what our players would expect from a word game. ● We’ve also given the default theme a refresh: now it’s got that classic, tiled word game vibe. ● For all the fans of the old-school Words in Progress default theme, don’t worry! We’ve added it back as the 'Classic Red' theme. Enjoy! Wordlist Changes ● All words requested by players have been reviewed and, if found to be suitable for all ages and valid, added to our word lists. Thank you to everyone who gave us feedback! Quality of Life Improvements ● Added a highlight state to the drop box for keyboard and controller interaction for specific drop box states. This way the player has a better indication of where their interaction is in those states. Bug Fixes ● Fixed an edge case bug where the drop box could get ‘stuck’ in a highlighted state when combining mouse with touch and keyboard or controller interaction methods. ● Fixed an issue with theme bars not coloring properly when changing the game language in the theme overlay.

The Real Opponent

It becomes obvious that you will not receive the letters you desperately need in order to complete a high-scoring word, because your real opponent is the programming that punishes you for creating a high scoring multi-letter word before you are required to do so. For example, if you simply need a “g” to complete “repeating”, you will receive multiple “I”s but no “g”. That’s fine, and it becomes the strategy to not reveal your intentions too early, but it’s just not my cup of meat.

Great Time Sink

And to think, my vocabulary increases proportional to my frustration.

It’s fun and what I payed for (not really, it’s free) but gets boring. Wish it had more to it.

Settings? How turn off sound?

Settings? Where are the settings? The sounds are annoying, and I could not find a way to turn off the sound with this app. Also game seems very boring,
