- moving less tiles now moves them faster and they can "bump" other tiles from their positions.

Incoming!!!
The mini games menu has gone, and the games it contained spread out into two new branches. The two branches are related to letter arrangement type games and word type games. Broadly speaking the letter arrangement branch is where you rearrange tiles into words, where as the word branch starts off with words and you have to find those words. Anagrams is currently in the letter arrangement branch, but arguably could have been in either.
What was referred to as "the main game" is now rebranded as Battle-boards. Under local/single player play it is now under the letter arrangement branch, the multiplayer remains in its own branch.
The intention is to put more emphasis into these other game modes, along with a couple more that are in the pipeline (more details as they develop). Therefore, Word Attack as a whole becomes more of a collection of game modes rather than a game mode with some hangers on.
Xmas is coming
These are ongoing changes and include a couple of small updates to the Halloween settings (for next year). The mechanism is also still under review, so may change in later development cycles.
