  4. Translation Feature! Now you can get a translation of your rootword after you find it. When the rootword is displayed after you correctly guess it, it is now displayed as a hyperlink. Simply click on it and a new tab will appear with a form to translate the rootword. Simply select to the target language to translate it to and hit the button.

  8. On the leaderboards, the row belonging to the logged in user is now displayed in green and there is no longer a checkbox to follow the user. Also, the link to the user name transfers to the actual profile page, not the partial profile page.
  9. The playing of the melody at the end of the game has been temporarily stopped. Some browsers were playing two melodies at the same time!
  10. On your profile page, there is now a link to see your private rootwords.
  11. There is now a Puzzle Marketplace where you can list your puzzles for sale. You must be logged and go to your profile to see links to it. YouTube video on this new feature.

Bug Fixes:

  1. Changed points algorithm: Now you don't get any rewards for correct subword guessing, or for letters and arrows. Instead, you get the max points possible if you correctly guess the rootword without making any errors. If you make any errors, however, 25 points are subtracted for each incorrectly guessed subword. In this way, you do not have to guess all the subwords; only the rootword counts. So, if you can guess the rootword by just looking at the puzzle and the the list of subwords -- but without guessing any of the subwords -- you will get max points and a short time.
