  • UI and audio

changed๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Daily Quests & StreaksSix fresh quests every day, up to 3 active at a time, replaced as you finish them. Goals adapt to your language โ€” words starting with a letter, longer words, scores, golden and bonus words, and more. Tick them off at your own pace, watch the countdown to tomorrow's set, and keep a daily streak alive (shown right on the menu).
changedโญ Collect StarsEarn a Star for every 5 golden letters you collect โ€” with a live progress bar โ€” plus rewards for finishing quests and a bonus for clearing them all. Spend Stars on hints today, with more to come.
changed๐ŸŽจ Three relaxing themesSwitching a theme now recolours the whole interface โ€” buttons, sliders and highlights, not just the background โ€” and each theme carries its own music and sound set.
changed๐ŸŒŒ A living, calmer worldSoftly drifting gradients, twinkling stars, fireflies and bubbles, plus occasional little easter-egg animations (shooting sparks, ripples). A flatter, low-key HUD keeps the focus on the grid: score top-center, quests top-left, redesigned action buttons, and a new menu with "hero" stats over an animated sky. Pause and hint dialogs now use a frosted-glass look.
changed๐Ÿ“– Livelier loading screensA rotating "did you know" word fact keeps you company while things load โ€” dozens of them, fully localized in every supported language โ€” with a softly glowing logo and a spinner that follows your theme. Quick loads now linger just long enough to read.
addedโŒจ๏ธ Controls & polishUnified, fully-localized keyboard controls โ€” Arrows move, Space picks, Enter submits, Backspace undoes, R = new grid, H = hint, Q = quests (working on any layout). Fully controller- and keyboard-friendly settings, a language picker that shows each language in its own name, and a friendly first-run tutorial.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Daily Quests & Streaks

Six fresh quests every day, up to 3 active at a time, replaced as you finish them. Goals adapt to your language โ€” words starting with a letter, longer words, scores, golden and bonus words, and more. Tick them off at your own pace, watch the countdown to tomorrow's set, and keep a daily streak alive (shown right on the menu).

โญ Collect Stars

Earn a Star for every 5 golden letters you collect โ€” with a live progress bar โ€” plus rewards for finishing quests and a bonus for clearing them all. Spend Stars on hints today, with more to come.

๐ŸŽจ Three relaxing themes

Pick your vibe in Settings (saved to Steam Cloud):

  • Cosmic โ€” a starfield drifting through aurora.

  • Ocean โ€” soft, rising bubbles.

  • Forest โ€” greens, warm amber light and fireflies in the trees.

Switching a theme now recolours the whole interface โ€” buttons, sliders and highlights, not just the background โ€” and each theme carries its own music and sound set.

๐ŸŒŒ A living, calmer world

Softly drifting gradients, twinkling stars, fireflies and bubbles, plus occasional little easter-egg animations (shooting sparks, ripples). A flatter, low-key HUD keeps the focus on the grid: score top-center, quests top-left, redesigned action buttons, and a new menu with "hero" stats over an animated sky. Pause and hint dialogs now use a frosted-glass look.

๐Ÿ’ก Smarter hints

Ask for a hint and the word's letters gently glow right on the board, so it's easy to spot. Step through the board's words one at a time with "Another word," and the hint tidies itself away the moment you play a word or regenerate the grid.

๐Ÿ“– Livelier loading screens

A rotating "did you know" word fact keeps you company while things load โ€” dozens of them, fully localized in every supported language โ€” with a softly glowing logo and a spinner that follows your theme. Quick loads now linger just long enough to read.

โŒจ๏ธ Controls & polish

Unified, fully-localized keyboard controls โ€” Arrows move, Space picks, Enter submits, Backspace undoes, R = new grid, H = hint, Q = quests (working on any layout). Fully controller- and keyboard-friendly settings, a language picker that shows each language in its own name, and a friendly first-run tutorial.

๐Ÿ”ง Fixes

Music resumes correctly after a long silence, Backspace removes a letter on the very first press, and the score stays perfectly centered.

Pour a cup of something warm and play a few words. ๐Ÿ’š
