This update is about the words you weigh against the author's. Every choice now takes the exact form the sentence asks for, and each passage leads with its closest alternatives, so a blank comes down to meaning and nothing else. Also new: study mode, for readers who play to learn. Turn it on and any word in the passage can be looked up before you answer, not just after. The game will offer it once while you play; the switch lives in Settings from then on.

A new collection, The English Novel: thirty books from Austen and Dickens through Hardy, Trollope, the Brontës and George Eliot. Barchester to Casterbridge, in more than 11,000 passages.

The Selcouth Roll is open. At the foot of Progress you'll now find a register waiting for the first readers to reach the summit. No one has yet become selcouth. Also in this update: • Finish every book in a collection, or find every word in a hunt, and you'll earn a crest for it. • In the Library, tap an author's name to play across all of their books at once. • Pack pages now show how many passages they hold. • Rows and lists throughout got a pass of small polish, including a more tactile press.

A new collection: Story-Books. Forty-one childhood classics, from The Secret Garden and The Wind in the Willows to Anne of Green Gables and Oz. Selcouth is also about half its old size, so it downloads faster and takes less of your phone.

Fixed a bug with author sorting, added the "Gothic & Weird" pack (see in the "Library"), and updated the pack title and roster for "Story-Book" (coming soon, also in "Library"). Updated promo and description text. Nothing else changed.
