New: Past dailies. Missed a day? The last 30 daily puzzles are on the home screen — and playing one never touches your streak. Also new: • Sports and Halloween puzzles finish with their own confetti. • Past sets use the same tiles as the rest of the home screen. Recently added: • A Sports set, just in time for football season — Football, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Hockey, Golf and Tennis. If you're coming from an earlier version, here's everything else that's new: Meet Scratch. An owl has moved into the Trellis. He shows you the ropes on your first puzzle, and he turns up to mark the occasion every ten days you keep your streak alive. Also in this update: • A new Countries set: Japan, America, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, India, France. • A Halloween set that opens on October 1 — seven more puzzles. • The vines turn with the season. Colored leaves through October, bare vines in November, and the same for the leaves that fall when you finish a puzzle. • The opening animation is gone. The app now starts on the home screen. • The "new record" badge has been retired — a word you have already solved is easy the second time, so beating your own old time was never much of a test. Best times still show on the results screen. • Home screen text is darker and easier to read.

Countries — a new set of seven puzzles! Every set now opens together. Finish four puzzles in Starter and the whole library unlocks — no more working through one set to reach the next. A redesigned home screen: sets sit two across, past seasonal sets tuck away, and the daily puzzle is easier to reach. Fixed a bug where sharing a set puzzle always said "No hints".

Trace back to fix a mistake. Take a wrong turn mid-word and you no longer have to start over — just drag back along your path and carry on. Also in this update: • A new Careers puzzle set. • A redesigned home screen. • The grid now takes on the color of the set you are playing. • Hints unlock faster, in 10 seconds instead of 15. • Letters settle more smoothly as each word is solved.

The daily puzzle now has a rhythm to the week. Monday eases you in — every word's starting letter is highlighted. The help tapers off as the week goes on, and by Sunday it's just you and the vine. Also in this update: • The daily puzzle now changes at midnight your local time • Your streak now shows correctly when you share a result • Fixed a hint that could be spent without revealing anything new

• Weeks of brand-new daily puzzles — beaches, volcanoes, circuses, whodunits, and more • Optional daily reminder at 9 AM so your streak never dies • Rating prompt tuned up and small fixes under the hood

*New Back to School puzzle Improved daily share cards (theme, difficulty, and hints now included). Various bug fixes and polish.

*Back to School is here! A brand-new puzzle group with 7 themed chains — from Pencil Cases and Cafeteria to Gym Class and Classroom. Look for the NEW badge at the top of the home screen. Summer puzzles have moved to a "More Puzzles" section at the bottom — your progress is saved.

*New* Summer themed puzzle for the end of the season. Results screen now appears after every puzzle — share your time, or jump to the previous or next puzzle without going home. Better navigation and other minor changes.

Thanks for playing! This update adds more puzzles, improved puzzles and smooths out a few rough edges. Happy solving!
