There was a really good, sensible suggestion in a recent review:

"The only minor point is I think the artifacts in inventory should be graphically represented as icons, probably somewhere on top of screen similar to slay the spire. Even though you don't often carry many, I often forget which ones I have and for that you need to select your inventory and then click in the dropdown menu of a specific artifact, because of course you forget what they do at the beginning."

Today, I'm happy to announce that the version 1.4 of Words of Yendor has been released.

The equipables are now listed on the Toolbelt, at the left side of the screen. Just hover the icons with your mouse to read the descriptions.
