Word Attack

Word update

Ongoing changes to the words and tuning of personalities.

Variant toggle

Similar to the previous update which added a "variants" toggle to the anagrams mini game, adds variant toggles to the pairs, codeword and decipher mini games, along with the main board game. When off it will exclude words such as those from localised dialects (actually excludes words from the dictionary where there is an origin as well as those marked as obsolete).
Note that this option may be expanded upon in the future or removed. It might be expanded upon to allow selection of which dialects and origins to include or exclude. It might get removed as it could be replaced by the introduction of different dictionaries, although at the moment adding additional dictionaries would require keeping multiple lists up to date - hence added this option instead to reduce maintenance overhead.

Update of anagrams mini game

An update to the anagrams mini game.
- now shows word definition for anagram
- option to allow alternate words to be ok answers
- can exclude variant words such as those from localised dialects

Quick patch

Fix to issue with take turns type games sometimes hanging. A change for the parallel play modes was done in some shared code and therefore accidentally was being run out of context.

Friendly update

Just swapped the default for the manual connect/create screen from public to being friends.

MARVELous update

With a whimsical nod to the MCU, this update introduces a new word list to use in a couple of the mini games (pairs and anagrams).

Personality update

Regular ongoing update to words that personalities within the game will use.

Middle button no longer places selection

Selected tiles are no longer placed when depressing the middle/mouse wheel button. Therefore if you select tiles and then move the board by holding the middle/mouse wheel button down, it no longer places the tiles.
