Paperback Vol. 2

Patch Notes: Better Bots & Smarter Words This update focuses on making the AI more reliable, fixing dictionary bugs, and making special card searches much more accurate. AI Improvements Fixed AI Freezing: Bots will no longer get stuck "thinking" indefinitely. If they can't find a word, they will now correctly discard and move on. Difficulty Balance: We’ve synced the AI’s brain with their difficulty level. Easy bots stay in the easy dictionary, while Hard bots now properly use the full range of complex words. Word & Dictionary Fixes Dictionary Cleanup: We’ve organized our word lists so that harder dictionaries now include all the words from the easier ones. Better Multi-Word Logic: Fixed a bug where the AI would get confused and switch dictionaries in the middle of looking for multiple words. Card Mechanic Updates Smarter Wildcards: Wildcard cards are now much more efficient. Instead of guessing randomly, they now specifically look for letters that actually complete words in the dictionary. Flexible Bigrams: Bigram cards (like TH) are now more versatile. The AI will now check both the standard order and the reversed "dyslexic" order (HT) to find the best possible play. Technical Tweaks Performance Boost: Added a "search cap" to prevent the game from slowing down during high-level calculations. Stability: Fixed a rare crash that could happen when the game was first loading its word data.

Hello Wordsmiths! This update introduces a highly requested quality-of-life feature: Planned Turns. You no longer have to wait for your opponents to finish to start cooking up your next big word. We’ve also gone through the library with a fine-toothed comb to fix several card-specific bugs. New Feature: Planning Mode Draw Early: You can now enter a "Planning Mode" from the Waiting for Player screen. This allows you to see your next hand and stage a word while your opponent finishes their turn. Seamless Transitions: Your staged word will now correctly save and carry over when it officially becomes your turn. Lobby Flow: Improved the UI to make returning to the lobby and checking game status smoother while in planning mode. Card & Power Fixes The "J" Card: Fixed a bug where the J (Double Word Score) would disappear from staging but fail to trash itself, staying in your deck indefinitely. The "T" Card: Patched the 3x adjacent bonus card to ensure the "trash after use" effect triggers properly. Look/Discard Powers: Fixed a logic flip where selecting cards to discard was accidentally keeping them instead. Auto-Reshuffle: The "Look" power now automatically triggers a reshuffle if your deck is empty, ensuring you always see the correct number of cards. Visual Polish: Fixed an issue where cards in hand would occasionally highlight incorrectly. Trash & Economy Fixes Fixed a major bug where the Trash stack wasn't clearing between different games. You will no longer see "stale" cards from previous sessions in your current trash pile! Trash for Cash: Fixed several instances where trashing cards (specifically the "Trash 2" power) failed to award the $1 or $3 bonus. Stacking Effects: Resolved logic conflicts that occurred when trying to trigger multiple different trash effects in a single turn. UI Clarity: Corrected a labeling error where the Discard pile was incorrectly showing a "TRASH" header during certain card-gain effects. Multiplayer & Co-op Co-op Fame: Fixed a bug in online Co-op mode where Fame cards were failing to appear.
