What’s new
Version 1.4.3 · Updated October 18, 2026
A friendlier first puzzle: a small pointer shows new players where to type, and a few letters are revealed for you before your first win. Trivia is easier to find: a new Getting Started quest and a nudge after your second solve. Reminders now ask politely with an in-app card after your first win, and the next-day reminder arrives in the morning. Daily puzzle clues rewritten to be clearer and more guessable. Same words, better hints.
