Try out the new updates.
To try the beta, from Library, right-click Word, choose properties and then betas ; the updates will be live tomorrow if no issues are reported.
Idle Mode
Relax while playing now, with idle mode.
After 5 seconds of no typing, timer is paused and set back to the time of the last keypress; resume typing to continue. You will see text at the bottom of the play screen to indicate idle mode is active.
WPM Logic
Now, the WPM is calculated every 5 characters (every word) and upon last character / level completion. Previously, WPM was calculated continuously.
Addressing the problems with the Leaderboards
In a future update, I will attempt to introduce logic that will continuously reset leaderboards that are obviously wrong:
- 2,147,483,647
- WPM of 543
Thanks for your patience and thanks for playing Word!
He is risen and alive! He is active in our lives. His word will not return void.
