The Department of Sneaky Words held an emergency meeting in a pond. Three coffees and a heated debate about the letter Y later, here’s version 1.1. • Secret words now get a dotted outline. Neat and tidy, even on diagonals. The old line has been reassigned to the spaghetti department. • The mode selector used to say “sure, sure” and then do whatever it wanted. We confiscated its “I’m my own boss” mug. Changing modes now restarts the puzzle; “Continue” resumes your game. Your completed levels have diplomatic immunity. • Search has moved on. Pick another theme and it stops taking you back to its ex. It was awkward for everyone. • Multiplayer invitations now have GPS. They wait until the app is ready before barging in with muddy shoes. • Videos no longer try to evaporate during the request for access to Photos. The Department of Paranormal Affairs is firm on this: much better. With December coming up, we wrote to Santa and asked his elves to make us some puzzles. They agreed, provided they could claim the entire HO HO HO letter supply. “Christmas in Lapland” arrives December 1: 50 puzzles per language to unwrap through January 6. Please don’t shake the presents. The diagonals are fragile. Thanks for playing Seekzl. If you find a secret word, stay calm: it probably found you first.
