Introducing a new 9-letter streak, to really show who's the best at Spellr

Faster, cleaner leaderboards — your scores load from cache right away, and duplicate same-day entries (anonymous vs Game Center) are cleaned up automatically when you sign in. Private leaderboards refresh more reliably.

Significant upgrade to private leaderboard functionality - improved operation, avatars, and player nicknames. Accuracy bonus for not just randomly bashing at the keyboard. Increased points achieved from longer word combinations to support accuracy bonus. Added background music options. Added options for toggling background music and sound effects on or off, in game play and in global settings.

Improved private leaderboards with easier membership management. New completion level added for those that find all words in a daily challenge. Ability to re-visit the day's daily challenge and view the solution. Improved archive game tracking.

Improved private leaderboards - with faster score loading and bug fixes. Optimised explicit word filter. Clearer distinction between US vs UK languages for word grids. Archive now showing all played games.

Fixed bug re: UK/US spellings

Broadens search facility to include all games. Changes word count to show total words available, how many a player has found, and how many are still to find. Improved daily challenge complete tile Added "Word God" status for anyone that finds all words in a particular game. Improves explicit word filter. Improves differentiation between US and UK English words, controlled by language selection in settings.

Ability to view the Daily Challenge solution after playing the game. New status and celebration for players that find all words in a challenge. Added new game numbers to games. Added training game search, to easily go back to specific games and/or share specific games with others. Now includes direct link to the game, when shared with other players that have the app installed - or links directly to the app store, for them to install Spellr. Fixed some bugs.

Aligned streak tracking across private and global leaderboards. General bug fixes, plus specific improvements: Membership validation - optimised to prevent server overload. Smart cache management - reduced unnecessary network calls. Efficient data validation & conditional debug logging - to minimise performance impact.

Improved Global Leaderboard Streak views, to include all players. Improved Private Leaderboard member management. Speed improvements for time to show leaderboard data. Performance improvements for faster loading times. Improved scalability for large user bases.

Fixed a bug with the leaderboards timing out on loading. Improved time to first display for training games. Removed test ad unit for Mobile Ads, and replaced with live ad unit. Added game center data submission when reconnecting to network, for better offline score tracking. Fixed archive game tracking, and markers indicating previously played games, and added new re-play challenge button. Fixed private leaderboard management to prevent accidental duplicate memberships

Introduced a timer toggle for training games, following user feedback. By default, the 5 minute challenge timer is now active in training games, but can be toggled off in the app's settings. Changed streak tracking to reflect current streaks from users, instead of cumulative streaks - to prevent ex-players influencing current play. Performance improvements with background load tasks, parallel loading and processing, and pre-loading to make the app faster overall.

Bug fixes primarily... preventing users joining private leaderboards more than once. Score tracking in both global leaderboard and private leaderboards is much more robust now, and displays instantly. Archive game tracking is now fully aligned with the global leaderboard daily challenges.

Introduced better handling for offline play and syncing scores when re-connected. Fixed score tracking for private leaderboard groups. Fixed date handling bug, with mismatch between how dates were treated between private and global leaderboards.
