What's New in Wordshelf

1.18

August 2, 2026

Larger text sizes finally work the way they should. Every screen scales, nothing gets cut off, and layouts rearrange so words and definitions get the full width of your screen. Book search is better too. Author is its own field now, which turns up the right book far more often than cramming title and author into one box. And when Google Books is down, we say so instead of claiming your book does not exist. Book search is what we are working hardest on. If a book you own will not come up, tell me in the Feedback tab. I read every one.
