MatchWords 2.0 — LAST CALL. A whole new look, built like an airport departure board: flap letters, an amber clock, and a boarding pass that is yours. - GATE: your pass, today's streak, and any duel still waiting for an answer - LOGBOOK: every game you finish, your records per board and clock, and the rivals you've duelled - DEPARTURES: weekly and all-time boards — best score, longest word, boards cleared, duels won — against the world or just your friends. Show or hide yourself from LOUNGE - Your history is kept under your player ID, survives a reinstall, and can be restored on a new phone - Arcade mode: every tile shows its letter's value and rare letters like Q, Z and X pay big on top of your word's length. Arcade is now the class a new game starts in. Your best-scoring word is a record of its own. The old Arcade is now Classic and Classic is now Practice; your records moved with them - Clear the whole board and the game ends right there, with your points doubled - Tracing that follows your finger: a letter counts the moment you touch it, and sliding back undoes it - How to play: a short rehearsal on a real board for first-time players, replayable from LOUNGE

New: know the duel before you take it. A challenge invite now shows its time, language and board size up front, so a duel played on someone else's settings never catches you by surprise.

New: know the duel before you take it. A challenge invite now shows its time, language and board size up front, so a duel played on someone else's settings never catches you by surprise.

New: two ways to play! Classic is the game you know — just the board and the clock. Arcade hands you a freeze, an extension and a hint every game, duels included. Choose in Settings; each mode keeps its own records. Also new: the end-game summary has a Missed tab — every word that was on the board and you never found, with the points it was worth.

New: multiplayer, rebuilt! Challenges now travel as real links — blue and tappable in iMessage or WhatsApp, opening straight into the board. Your friend plays your exact grid, your score stays hidden until they finish, and a notification tells you who won the moment they answer. Also in this update: VoiceOver now announces the menu, pause and end-game buttons by what they do instead of by their icon, and the countdown reads out the time remaining.

New: Challenge a friend and create a streak! Finish a game, share the link, and they play the exact same board. See who wins when they're done.

Fix bug on home stats refreshment

Fix record bugs: whenever a new record was broken (a higher score was achieved, a longer word found, or more words than in any previous game session), it seems our record charts were being too humble and therefore refused to appear. After talking to them and making clear is no lack of humility to brag about a superb match, they are now appearing when they should.

Multiple board sizes! Pick the setup you wish: 4 x 4 or 5 x 5 (either English or Spanish)
