Overlap hides pips — use it to your advantage. - Four ways to play: switch between 3- and 4-letter words, or turn on Decoy, Mystery, and Memory modes for an extra challenge. - Beat the 10-second clock: spell the whole word in time to level up. - A guided DEMO with a pointing hand that walks you through building a word, step by step. - Find it in the Smart Fox Brain Bites collection on the main menu.

Version 4.4.8 — June 1, 2026 New Demos for OddPawZ & True Circle, Plus Demo Fixes and a CatenaZ BOOM! Two new - DEMO walkthroughs - OddPawZ now has a DEMO: tap the yellow - DEMO button and watch an animated finger glide to the hidden puppy and tap it, celebrate, then hand the board back to you for real play. - True Circle now has a DEMO too: the finger slides down to the correct answer button (1–4) and taps it, revealing the true circle — so first-timers can see exactly how to answer. - Neither demo affects your stats, score, or streak. Tap DEMO as many times as you like; tapping the board or START/RESET ends it and restores a fresh puzzle. WaterTable demo fix - The demo finger no longer flies off to the top-left corner when picking up a piece. It now stays on the pieces and glides smoothly from one to the next, every time. PentaFlush demo now shows the DEAL tap - The demo pauses on the deck so you can clearly see the finger tap "TAP" to deal and tap "DEAL" to advance to the next round — the full loop, at a pace you can follow.

Version 4.4.6 — May 25, 2026 Alpha PulleyZ Gets Two Tiny Pullers + Polish Across Archive Screens Alpha PulleyZ — meet the pullers - Two little human figures now stand at each rope end, hands gripping the ring, ready to yank. Tap a rope and your puller dips down with the tug — it's no longer a disembodied ring magically pulling itself. - Ropes were shortened just enough to give the pullers room to stand without crowding the board. Cleaner "No Archive" screens for one-try-only games - The archive screens for CatenaZ, Par 9, Alpha PulleyZ, AxisWords, and OddPawZ now show the correct "one-try-only" copy with proper colored icons matching each game's identity. - Previously these screens were stuck on an older, generic "quick 10-second game" message — they now read clearly and match the rest of the app. Behind the scenes - Cleaned up a batch of compiler warnings and a small handful of unreachable code paths. No behavior change, just a tidier build.

Version 4.4.4 — May 22, 2026 DiskBreak+ Demo & Consistent DEMO Buttons DiskBreak+ now has a DEMO walkthrough - Tap the new yellow ▶ DEMO button to watch a sample puzzle break and snap itself back together — perfect for first-time players who'd rather see it done than read the instructions. - The demo uses a fixed sample puzzle (same every day), runs a simplified Level 1 break regardless of today's level, and restores your real daily puzzle when it's done. - Watching the demo does NOT mark today's DiskBreak+ as played. Tap DEMO as many times as you like. DEMO buttons across the app now share one color - Every DEMO button in the Swift menu — DiskBreak+, CatenaZ+, DominoFit, JushBox, GolfBox, AlphaPulleyZ, WaterTable, WordStairZ, WordInShapes, XNumbers, AtomicNails, MirrorRunBig, AxisWords2, and Roads & Walls — is now the same yellow. - Previously some were orange, some lighter orange, others gray. Now DEMO always means the same yellow pill, no matter which game you're in.

Version 4.4.3 — May 18, 2026 Alpha PulleyZ — Now a Daily Puzzle One puzzle a day for everyone - Today's puzzle is today's puzzle. The same word, the same letter layout, the same rope routing, no matter how many times you tap START. A fresh one drops at midnight (local time). - The daily lock now survives app restarts. Once you've finished today's round — win or lose — you're done until tomorrow. Exiting before pulling is still free. Randomized rope lengths per day - Which PULL handle hangs long and which hangs short is now picked per day. No more "the right ring is always low" muscle-memory shortcut — the layout shifts daily, so you have to actually trace the ropes. Already-Played reminder on re-entry - Come back to Alpha PulleyZ later today? You'll see your result again with an "Already Played Today" popup — your word, your time, and a one-tap shortcut to try CatenaZ next. DEMO is now the same every time - The tutorial puzzle is fixed, so first-time players learn against a consistent example. DEMO also now flashes the answer bells GREEN at the end, matching the real-game feedback — you see the same color language a real win uses.

Version 4.4.2 — May 17, 2026 NEW GAME: Alpha PulleyZ — a 10-second pulley puzzle Six lettered bells hang from a row of pulleys. Two ropes weave through them — one rope's letters spell a real 3 or 4 letter word, the other's don't. Trace each rope from its PULL a handle, figure out which one spells the word, the right one before time runs out. What's in it - 6 pulleys, 2 ropes, 1 hidden answer per round - The answer rope is randomized every puzzle — no two plays feel the same - Both ropes look identical so you can't shortcut it by appearance - Bells flash green when you nail it, red when you don't - DEMO mode walks you through your first round - REVEAL/HINT button briefly highlights the answer rope if you're stuck - Squeaky-pulley sound effects (toggleable) - Penalty counter tracks misses across plays Find Alpha PulleyZ in the 10-Second Puzzles section on the main menu. Solve fast. Pull smart.

Version 4.4.1 CatenaZ+ updates • New milestone badges right above the scoreboard — see your 500 / 2,000 / 5,000-cell progress at a glance. Each badge lights up gold the moment you cross its threshold. • Added a new "Worst" column to the stats bar that remembers your highestwrong-move count across all runs, alongside your live "Wrong" counter.

Version 4.4.0 — May 8, 2026 CatenaZ+ Polish — Better Feedback, Better Vibes Encouragement banners every 50 cells - A pulsing "Great job — keep going!" toast pops at the top each time your chain reaches the next 50-cell mark (50, 100, 150, 200, ... ). - The message rotates and tracks how close you are: when the next reward is within 100 cells, it switches to "So close! 75 cells to the next award." Past 5,000, the copy turns into pure cheerleading. - Lasts 3 seconds, gently pulses while visible, then fades out so it never gets in your way. Red flash on bad gap taps - Tap an adjacent cell whose gap doesn't line up with your head? The cell now flashes red instead of going silent — you can see exactly which move the rules rejected. - The flash respects the rules: only adjacent-but-not-connected taps light up red. Non-adjacent or random taps stay quiet. Exit Game confirmation - The Back button in CatenaZ+ now asks before leaving a live run: "Are you sure? You may lose your progress if you exit." Matches the Roads & Walls behavior so you can't accidentally tank a long chain.

Version 4.3.9 — May 7, 2026 New Game: CatenaZ+ The endless variant of CatenaZ. No timer, no daily puzzle — just trace the chain as long as you can. The board scrolls up as you advance, and your peak chain length is your record. Where to find it - Live in the LOGIC section, right under JushBox. How it plays - Tap any circle in the top row to start the chain. Then keep going — every connected circle is +1 to your score. - Two circles connect only when both have a gap facing each other. Read the gaps carefully. - Stepped into a dead-end? Tap your last-selected circle to backtrack one cell at a time. Each undo bumps the Wrong counter — that's your tally for this run, not a fail. - The view follows you both ways: the board scrolls up as you push forward, and scrolls back when you retreat so prior cells stay reachable. DEMO - A new DEMO button (rightmost on the toolbar) plays the first 10 moves of the canonical chain so you can see how the path is meant to flow before you take over. Milestone Rewards - Hit 500 cells to unlock your first reward. 2,000 cells = an incredible badge. 5,000 cells = the legendary EPIC reward. Each milestone is once-per-player — make every chain count. 10-Second CatenaZ now points to CatenaZ+ - The "Game Complete" popup at the end of the daily 10-second puzzle now offers "Try CatenaZ+" instead of Roads & Walls.

Version 4.3.8 — May 4, 2026 Main Menu Polish Cleaner card text and consistent level colors on the home screen. VoltsZ card - Fixed truncated description on the VoltsZ card. "The Daily Word Survival Puzzle" and "7 words. 4 guesses, then 3. One mistake ends it." now wrap to multiple lines instead cutting off with "…". WaterTable level color - The Level 1/2/3 dot on the WaterTable card now uses the same color scheme as every other game: Level 1 is green, Level 2 yellow, Level 3 red. Previously it always showed gray because the level was being looked up off-by-one.
