New "Overlay words" option

  • With this option selected the game plays as before. When placing words to find, they could be placed over one another, e.g. if it were placing the words ONE and TWO, the same "O" could be used for each words placement. You could also use the same letters to find different words, e.g. if you wanted to find ONE and SOMEONE you could find SOMEONE, then use the ONE from that word to find ONE.
  • With this option unselected, two things happen. Firstly words are placed apart from one another. When placing words all the letters are added as their own unique cell/tile. Secondly, when selecting where words are, if you select a letter that has been used to find another word then that word will be removed from your list of found words and you will need to find it again elsewhere (or in the same place in which case the same thing will happen to the word you just found). As the game progresses you can see less areas where you haven't found words, and therefore less space where you need to look for words. Unless you go wrong and use a word like ONE from a word like SOMEONE, this makes the board easier to complete.

Other changes

  • Added "Extra saves" option to the setup screen. Previously this was a hidden option that could be added to the setup file manually. When enabled, every time you find a word the save/continue file is updated, therefore saving you from (most) power losses and other types of crashes. When not enabled the save is done when you select to exit the board you are playing on.

(Under normal circumstances there is no need to enable "Extra saves".)
