NEW IN 1.7 The update that fills in everything around the match: puzzles you progress through, friends you can actually find, achievements worth chasing, and a board that behaves the way you expect. PUZZLES Daily puzzles are no longer a flat list. They sit on a path you move along, each step harder than the last, with your puzzle rating beside it — solve one above your level and it goes up, miss an easy one and it comes back down. - Rush: solve as many as you can against the clock, your best run is kept - Endgame puzzles: positions where a single wall decides the game - A puzzle leaderboard, separate from the match one, so solving counts for something - Three fresh puzzles every day, as before FRIENDS - Add a friend by their player code, or send a link that opens straight into a match - Requests you can accept or decline, instead of anyone landing in your list - Challenge a friend to a private game from their card, with no room code to dictate over the phone - See which of your friends are online before you invite them PROGRESS - Achievements for the things you already do: win streaks, perfect puzzle days, walls that turn a game around - A ranks screen that spells out every league and what rating it asks for, so the next step is never a guess - Season details: where you stand now, what the next league needs, how long is left - A daily win streak that counts up and shows on your profile IN A MATCH - Emotes and quick phrases: react to your opponent without leaving the board - A warning when your clock drops low, so a won game is not lost to a glance away - Walls go back to one way of being placed. Drag the wall where you want it and let go. The mode where a wall stuck to your hand until you tapped the board is gone, along with the taps that put walls where nobody meant them - Red always moves second, in every match. That now holds in rooms opened from the Android app and through a whole chain of rematches, not only in rooms this app created. Before, the order came from who opened the room, and in some of them red started - Leave by accident and you get a window to come back before the match is given away - Report a player straight from the result card, without hunting for where that button lives - Fixed: after you resigned, the result screen did not appear at all NOTIFICATIONS Reminders are no longer one daily send to everyone. They follow your own play now: a nudge a day after you stop, a different one after a week away, your rating summary once a week, and a word when the lobby is unusually busy. Fewer messages, and a reason behind each one. LOOK AND FEEL - Board themes, wall skins and pawn colours gathered into one place, with what you already own marked and ready to switch between - Your items live on their own screen, so a theme you unlocked months ago is not buried in a menu - Replays can be saved as video and shared, which is the fastest way to settle an argument about a wall Most of this list came from players writing in.
