We apologize to those players that experienced issues with odd freezing behavior or submitted words not registering in Versus AI and Pass And Play game modes only. These issues were introduced in the last build (build 3.3.9), so would only affect those players whom have played these game modes recently.
In addition to these fixes, dictionary reference definitions are now available/accessible in the Versus AI and Pass And Play game modes.
Update 3.3.9 - In-Game Dictionary Added!
The primary focus of this update is the addition of an in-game dictionary. Update notes with more details below:
Dictionary definitions for submitted words now available via slide-out in-game menu for single-player games, courtesy of Princeton University's WordNet dictionary
Added gems settings option added to Pass And Play game mode. Toggling this setting on will add an "Add Gems" card to the card deck for local 2-player Pass And Play games
State of the slide-out menu is now saved, so the app will remember if it is in the slide-in or slide-out position between sessions
Word list additions: "hostelry", "dwelling", "longhouse", "outhouse", "shed", "greenhouse", and "glasshouse" added to building word list; "bot", "botfly", "gadfly", and "silkworm" added to insect word list
Patch 3.3.8.2
Patch notes describing changes and bug fixes for version 3.3.8.2 below:
No longer possible to earn first-try badge for levels 1-3 of Miscellaneous category (this was done to avoid overchallenging new players on first few levels while they are still becoming familiar with gameplay). Still possible to earn first-try badge for all other levels if player beats the level on first attempt
Word list additions: "sweats", "sweatpants", and "ballgown" added to clothing word list; "seltzer" added to beverage word list; "crater" and "spacecraft" added to space word list
Fixed positioning error of first-try badge award on post-game screen for games where "Add Gems" action card is in the deck
Normalized click sound effect for ticker so peak volume is consistent with other sounds
Fixed minor bug where game timer text in upper right shifts slightly to right when timer starts
Version 3.3.8 - BLACK SCREEN ERROR FIXED
We want to apologize to those users whom experienced a black screen upon opening the game. This issue did not come to our attention until yesterday, which is the reason for making it a priority to roll this patch out today. In addition to fixing the black screen error, this build introduces the following changes:
Mint completion sticker now awarded for earning all of the cards in a level. Previously, this sticker was earned for beating a level on the first try, but a new badge has now been added to award users for this achievement. Both of these badges/stickers appear on the level select screen and post-game stats screen after earned.
Main word list expanded to include almost twice as many English words
Fixed issue with sound effect for reveal hint button not loading properly
Added 3 new words to instrument card word list: "samisen", "shamisen", and "sanxian"
