Emoji Bee now draws every emoji in its own artwork, so a puzzle looks the same on every phone as it did when we made it. New on Home: Hex Jar. Drop finds into Rivet's jar, and when two of the same kind touch they join into the next one up. Work your way to a lantern. Hex Jar points are separate from your puzzle honey, EQ and streak. Bug fixes.

Your first day. New to Emoji Bee? Your first game is now a hand-picked day of five puzzles, and the bee drops in with a tip exactly when you need one: your first lock-in, the honey jar, the dipper, a Meld Chip. Replay it any time from Help. The results screen is new: five honey jars for the day, your week under the rank card, today's answers as a sheet, and one share card. Dark mode is worth a look. Bug fixes.

A new way to play the day. Every puzzle now starts with a cup of honey. Lock in a word and it pours a drop; a miss or a hint spills one. Keep honey in the cup and you keep playing. If it runs dry, the answer shows, so every day ends with a result instead of game over. Stuck on a word? Lift the honey dipper from the jar to scoop a hint, or spend two drops to reveal a word straight from your hand. Finish all five, revealed or not, and your streak lives on. Bug fixes and smoother dragging.

Talk about today's game. Once you finish a day, you can read and join that day's conversation with the other players who finished it. Every comment is checked before anyone else sees it, and you can report or block from any comment. Your hive card now shows when a friend has said something about today. Security and stability improvements.

Check every tile on its own. When an emoji shares an equation with another, you can lock it in by itself and see what it stands for - then fill the whole equation and double-tap to solve it in one go. Also in this update: - Today's Emoji shows each emoji's official name - Your solve time counts only the puzzle on screen - Fixes and polish

Deleting your account works again. - The confirmation now opens as a sheet, like everything else in the app. It used to open behind the Account screen, where you could not see it. - The deletion itself was being refused on our side. It goes through now, and takes your data with it.

Bigger puzzles on the phones that have the room: a long clue now takes the space above the honeycomb, and keeps its size as you solve. - Redeem a Bee+ code in the App Store and it unlocks the next time you open the app. - Rate Emoji Bee from the You tab. The ask waits for your second clean day. - The Bee+ sheet says when the App Store hasn't answered, and lets you try again. - Bolder chips on the board.

Your Comb, finished. - A missing meld now tells you which past game it is hiding in, and takes you there. - A new card on your Comb hands you one day to play, and follows you to your results. - Chip families show their rule up front.

• Steadier screens: pages now hold their layout while your data loads — no more content jumping into place. • A more native feel: better keyboard behavior, no accidental text selection or zoom. • Streak update: solving all five puzzles keeps your streak going. • Assorted fixes and polish.

- First Flight: your first game now opens with a short guided tour that teaches as you play. - The Help sheet got a glow-up: real puzzle examples, honey-drop hint pips, and score marks. - The Archive calendar now pours honey into each day as you solve it. - Bug fixes and polish throughout the hive.

The archive is open to everyone. Browse and play past days without signing in first. The app icon badge now clears the moment you solve your first puzzle of the day, instead of hanging around after you are done. Solve now banks every word that verified, rather than discarding them. Polish: cleaner punctuation on the board, a better-scaled share card, and titles on themed days.

Meet the Comb - your Emoji Meld collection. Every meld you solve is waxed into your Comb: browse it by emoji, learn what each one does, spot the gaps still out there, and play past days from the Archive to collect them all. Also in this update: - Your Hive now shows each friend's day as a miniature honeycomb scorecard - A cleaner Comb screen with a pinned header and one-of-a-kind Singles - Small fixes and polish throughout

NEW: The Beeswax Jar. Every emoji meld you solve becomes a badge in your collection - and when a meld you own can help on today's board, the jar buzzes. Your results screen is now a honeycomb scorecard: each cell shows how its puzzle went, your streak lives in the comb, and a new rank card tracks your climb through six bee ranks - from Newbie all the way to Emoji Bee. Stats has been rebuilt to match: your rank and its bee up top, an honest ledger of every finish, and a new view of where your EQ came from. Share your day as a picture, review the answers after you play, and enjoy a hive's worth of polish and fixes. And a kinder rule: your streak now stays alive with at least one solve a day. A blank day - or a skipped one - still resets it.

Dark mode is here. A warm ink theme that follows your system setting, across the whole hive. Results, rebuilt. After the daily you now get a full recap of every puzzle with its answer, including the ones you missed. Finished days you open from the calendar land on your real results instead of a summary card. Also in this update: - Forgiving tile drops: a tile snaps to the nearest slot instead of falling back - Switch the global leaderboard between EQ and streak - Add a profile photo to your player card - Leaving the board returns you where you came from - Fixes for iPad landscape, plus theme and results polish
