Leagues, finished properly. • Monday now has its moment: a full-screen result with your badge, your move on the ladder, and the numbers behind it. • See last week's final standings, who went up and who went down, from the result or any time under the league board. • Tap your league badge to browse all five leagues, what moves at each rung, and what unlocks the next one. • Finishing every pack of a difficulty gets its own celebration, with your stats and a new achievement worth 3 keys. • Kuadra Complete owners without an avatar get one chosen for them. • Fixes: league results land on time however early you play on Monday, and league texts fit on smaller phones.

Small polish this time: reaction emoji on the leaderboard now sit neatly centred in their circles. Plus a few behind-the-scenes fixes to keep things smooth.

Leagues that make sense at a glance • The next league opens as soon as a league fills two full rooms. No more waiting for the weekly reset to climb. • The weekly countdown now talks about your position, not the league in the abstract. It tells you whether you are in the promotion zone, safe, or sliding toward demotion. • When the league above you is not open yet, the promotion line is drawn anyway, greyed out, with a note on what it takes to unlock it. Tap it for the full explanation. • Leaderboard rows are tighter on the right, so names have the space they deserve. • Reactions sit properly centred in their circles. • Estimated solve times on the pack list are now measured from real play instead of guessed. Several were far off. • League points for thirteen shaped packs were lowered to match how quickly they actually solve.

Your league explains itself now: the Monday countdown says what will actually happen to your room, locked leagues say what opens them, and the rules moved behind an ⓘ so you see more players and fewer paragraphs.

Big thanks to 血狼破军 for a long, thoughtful letter — most of this release is theirs. Aim your hints: tap Hint, then tap where you're stuck, and the rectangle draws itself in. Vibration finally works on every Android phone. Complete owners can replay past dailies for keys, three a day. Fourteen new achievements, and a Sunday nudge when your league spot is still winnable. Keep the letters coming.

• League alerts: know when a rival knocks you out of the promotion seats or into the demotion zone. Optional, in Settings. • A surprise for anyone who solves all 13,500 puzzles. • Leaderboards update right after your daily solve and roll over correctly to the new day. • Fixes and polish.

A player wrote to us. We listened: • Draw a rectangle that fits its number and it now fills with colour under your finger — the board says "yes" before you let go. (Prefer to count for yourself? Settings.) • Getting it wrong now feels like a tap on the shoulder, not a slap. The gentle buzz is for mistakes; the solid one is for progress. The leagues grew teeth: • You now race 20 players, and the deal is carved in stone: top 6 rise, bottom 3 fall. Every league, every week. • The ladder builds itself as you climb — Chalk is open, Slate unlocks when enough of you get there. Be one of its founders. • Every puzzle's worth is spelled out in the rules, and your new avatar follows you onto the board the moment you pick it. And for the legend who broke our stats screen by solving 10,000 puzzles: it's fixed. Solve on.

Leagues are here. Every Monday you join a group of 30 players and race to the top. Finish high and you move up a league — Paper, Chalk, Slate, Ink, Kuadra — and everyone starts level again on Monday. Harder puzzles are worth more, so a Master board counts for more than a quick Easy one. You'll see what a solve earned the moment you finish it. Also in this update: • Tap to draw. Place a rectangle with two taps instead of dragging — kinder on the hands over a long session. Turn it on in Settings. • A fairer daily. The clock now starts with the board rather than your first touch, and times are measured to the hundredth of a second, so two solvers no longer share a place by accident. • Clearer leaderboards, each with a short explanation of how it works.

You can now turn off the cell counter that follows your finger while you drag — Settings → Gameplay, under the timer. • Leaderboard rows always show a name, never a blank one • The invite button no longer covers the last names in your Following list • Fixed an Android crash when reopening the app after a purchase was interrupted

Kuadra Complete now unlocks a colour for every avatar — pick a design, then the colourway you want. We added 14 new animals too, including a horse. • Complete players can tap their own face on a leaderboard to change it • Pinch-to-zoom and two-finger scroll hints on larger puzzles • A live count of the cells you select as you drag • Dragging past a blocker keeps the largest valid rectangle • Solved boards no longer react to stray taps • Follow us on WhatsApp from the home screen

New: 108 avatars for Kuadra Complete owners — pick one in Settings and it appears on every leaderboard. Already own Complete? They're yours, no extra cost. Fixed: a name change now updates the daily leaderboard straight away.

Fixed the Daily Challenge sometimes showing 0 solvers and no average time while the leaderboard was full.

Kuadra is still free, exactly as it was — nothing you had before has been taken away. New: Kuadra Complete, an optional one-time purchase that unlocks every puzzle pack, removes ads for good, and adds 25 bonus keys. One payment, no subscription. Already bought it? Restore purchase is in Settings.

Squashed some bugs that were overstaying their welcome. We also fed the servers some extra caffeine, so everything should feel a bit snappier now.

• Reactions on the leaderboard now sit in one compact pill instead of a row of separate chips, so player names stay readable no matter how many people react.

Press and hold a row to send a reaction, as before. • Behind-the-scenes updates for smoother, more reliable play.

See who's cheering you on! Tap the reactions on any leaderboard row to see exactly who sent each emoji. Long-press to react, tap to reveal — climbing the ranks just got a little more social.
