Interactive tutorial — A 5-step walkthrough on first launch (or replay anytime from Settings). Demos each move, lets you try, replays if you get it wrong. Musical letter wheel — Each letter taps a note as you drag, so tracing a word sounds like a short melody. Confetti + fanfare on puzzle complete — Seven rotating fanfare tracks so wins stay fresh. Polish & fixes - Leaderboards open instantly with a loading state instead of a blank screen. - Coin balances show full numbers (5,000 not 5K) on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - Expanded grid-word exclusion list (12 → 105) so awkward words don't appear. - Starter coins now reliably granted on fresh installs, even without iCloud. - Support link fixed (no more 404). - Game Center sign-in refresh on Leaderboard and Achievements. - Stats column widths balanced. - Tutorial demo animation draws cleanly without mid-pass restarts. Apple Watch — redesigned - Matched compact pills in the toolbar; coin display moved into the hint sheet. - New Progress sheet (tap right pill) showing found + unfound words as a stylized scoreboard. - Pitched xylophone melodies, matching iOS. - Confetti on puzzle complete. - Only one cue per event — no more haptic stacking on top of sound. - Top-row letters drag reliably on real hardware. Thanks to TestFlight testers — keep the feedback coming.
