The Pastimes: ten small games beside the crosswords. Four arrive each morning, in worlds you have already travelled, and they are open every day. Nothing expires. They pay postmarks. Postmarks now buy every look in the dressing room and every keepsake on the Souvenir Shelf, so wanting a new look never competes with wanting a new place. The shelf has new lines: flourishes for a finished board, lettering, wheel pointers and soundscapes. A scratch card for every scene you finish for the first time. Rub the foil away for twenty coins to a thousand. The wheels pay postmarks as well as coins, spins bank up to two, and the wheel can be built up over a hundred levels. Fair Weather, earned by playing, brings it round every five minutes for a quarter of an hour. The Grand Vault: the biggest chest of coins, with its price coming down one weekend a week. The piggy bank holds ten times as much. Fixes throughout, including the phone running warm, a launch crash, and boards where a word could hide inside another.

Bigger, clearer puzzle tiles. Every board was re laid so no scene is cramped, and the letters are about a third larger on the tightest ones. Fixed a crash that could close the app the first time you opened it. THE HOUR WHEEL. A free spin every hour with a real chance at anything in the game, including a Day Trip town or a whole premium world. The odds are printed in the app, because a long shot should say how long it is. The daily spin is worth taking now: 120 to 1,000 coins instead of 1 to 100. New glass wheel and tile skins, and the Trading Post no longer flickers as you scroll it.

NEW: EARN YOUR WAY IN. Every world and every Day Trip town can now be unlocked with coins you earn by playing, as well as with a purchase. And premium worlds are worth the trip: each carries on into night as you play, hands you its own signature tile material, and includes the ticket to its Day Trip town. NEW WORLD: Kyoto Lanterns. Temple lanes, bamboo groves and lantern light across 100 new scenes with 20 Traveler Cards. NEW: DAY TRIPS. Every world now has a small town beside it, 28 in all. Finish 30 scenes in a world to earn that town's ticket, then the town is yours for a small price: 30 more scenes and 6 Traveler Cards each. Wander to Giverny from Paris, Rye from London, Kamakura from Tokyo, Carmel from the California coast, and two dozen more. NEW: WEEKEND GAMES. Three calm games open each weekend. Climb a word ladder, trace hidden words in a grid, or match postcards. Clear one for coins, clear all three for a bundle and a spare Day Trip ticket. Your progress now follows you: finish a scene on your iPhone and it is waiting on your iPad, with no account and no sign in. Traveler Cards get their moment: a reveal when a card drops, a countdown to your next one, rare cards, a share sheet, starter sets in the free worlds, and a first seasonal set that never expires. A Traveler Passport shows off everything you have collected, and 37 Game Center achievements mark the way. The daily puzzle now draws from 365 puzzles. Tap any solved word for its definition. Finished a world? Expedition scenes keep it alive. Join the Weekend Sprint on the leaderboard, or spend coins on new wheel and tile skins. Plus a richer home screen, bigger blocks, living scenery, music written for every place, and a hundred small polish fixes.
