Learn the combos. A new tutorial on the home screen teaches every scoring combo through hands-on lessons. Each one hands you a nearly-finished board and the dice to complete it, so you see exactly how a combo is made and watch it score. Replay any lesson whenever you want a refresher.

- Gauntlet, a new survival mode: Boards come one after another with climbing score targets, from 4 of 8 up to a perfect 8 of 8. You start with three hearts: miss a target and you lose one, hit the target and you choose one of three perks. Extra undos, foresight into the next three dice, reroll charges, or a mended heart. The run ends at zero hearts; your best run (boards cleared, then total points) is saved on your device. Find it on the home screen. - Twist, a new challenge ladder: A third tab on the Challenges screen with 20 hand-tuned levels in four tiers. Each level changes exactly one rule: some cells are blocked and their lines can never score, some dice are locked in place before you start, some boards take away your undo, and some have a golden cell that makes every scoring line through it worth double. Stars and level unlocks work just like the classic ladders, and every star threshold is verified to be achievable.

- The tutorial now teaches four combos, not one. The hands-on demo at the end of onboarding starts on an almost-complete board where every row is one die away from a different combo. Tapping the glowing cell four times completes a two pair, a small straight, an all odds, and a four of a kind, one reveal at a time, so new players see the variety of ways to score before their first real puzzle. The free-practice round afterwards now starts on a fresh empty board. - Score charts load more reliably. The "yesterday's recap" popup on the home screen and the distribution charts on the Stats screen now wait a little longer for their data before giving up, so the histograms and your percentile fill in on the first try instead of occasionally showing up blank. Your score and the count-up still appear instantly; only the comparison charts wait on the network.

This update is all about making Yadoku easier to read, easier to control, and a little smarter on the Stats screen. Accessibility • Larger Text: every screen now reflows cleanly at large system text sizes, so nothing gets cut off when you turn Dynamic Type up. The board, progress dots, and dice tray stay a fixed size, since those are game pieces rather than text. • Reduce Motion: turn it on and the falling-stars celebration is suppressed and the Stats and home score count-ups jump straight to the final number instead of animating. • Color contrast: text and icons were tuned to meet WCAG AA contrast on all four themes, in both light and dark. Community puzzles • A new help screen, opened from the "?" on the community feed, explains the Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impossible difficulty labels, the daily create and publish limits, the editor steps, liking, and reporting. • Finishing a community puzzle now reads exactly like finishing a daily, weekly, or free-play one: tap a die to focus its row, tap again for its column, tap again to clear. Stats • A new "How you stack up" card shows where your average daily score ranks against the rest of the players, measured the same way for everyone. You are never counted in your own ranking, and the card stays hidden until enough players have built up a daily history, so it never shows a misleading number.

Custom puzzles now support Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impossible generation from the Randomize menu, with difficulty labels applied automatically when published. You can now tap a die on the Results board to inspect the combo it was part of. Tap once to focus the row, tap again to focus the column, and tap again to clear. This also works on yesterday’s daily and last week’s weekly optimal solution panels. The Stats screen now includes a daily recap card after you finish today’s puzzle, showing your score, the score distribution, and your percentile for the rest of the day. Yesterday’s and last week’s optimal solution panels now show your score next to the best possible score, making it easier to compare your result. Recap histograms are now interactive. Tap a bar on the home recap popup, daily Stats recap, or weekly recap to see what percentage of players scored that result. Stats now include a lifetime “Puzzles played” tile. It tracks unique completed puzzles across devices when signed in, and locally when playing anonymously. Signing in merges your local count. Streaks and grace days are now explained in the how-to-play rules. Grace days also now have a cooldown: one per 7 days for daily puzzles and one per 4 weeks for weekly puzzles. Streak displays now label forgiven gaps as grace days instead of showing them as missed days. “Pro since” now uses the original purchase date Spanish and English streak text now handle plurals correctly. Free play zero-score messaging now refers to random dice instead of using daily-puzzle copy. The Stats recap now focuses on yesterday’s puzzle, since today’s puzzle is always available from the daily play screen and yesterday’s view has the completed distribution. Impossible puzzle generation now clarifies that no perfect score is reachable, instead of sounding like no combos can score. Several result and readout polish fixes were made, including cleaner combo labels and improved spacing. Published custom puzzles now keep their difficulty label and optimal score ceiling in sync. Older community puzzles with missing ceilings were backfilled, and the publish flow now prevents that issue going forward.
