fixedHi everyone, this is MAJOR update as it brings couple of things. Since we have very good and active discussion on the forums, over the time we figured out what are some points where we can improve the game and how to make it more fun. This game was at first imagined to run as anagram puzzle with 8 letters. During the discussion in the forum couple of players asked why can not we choose how many letters I want to play with? :) lol Anyway, we are bringing 6-letter mode with this update as DEFAULT mode and 8-letter mode can be switched to via Options dialog. There's checkbox right below SFX slider. We have tested this 6-letter mode for last week or so and I must say it feels way more fun. With this new mode, it's natural that we bring up also new leaderboard, so here it is. If you switch the game mode under the Options dialog, on the Main Menu screen appropriate leaderboard will be pulled down from Steam server. As a result of these changes we had to increase version of the save game file, so older save game won't work for you. Besides these major things, we fixed an issue which have forced game to run in windowed mode even if you try to switch to full screen via Options. Also dictionary is improved a bit, number of reported words were removed. Thanks a lot for the active discussion in the Community Hub section, it helps us a lot to improve the game. Have fun and let us know your feedback. Vedran Klanac, Ace Of Words designer
