Made update notes easier to read, with clearer descriptions of improvements and fewer behind-the-scenes details.
Corrected several game covers and improved checks to keep the artwork matched to the right title.
Improved the reliability of site updates and reduced cover image sizes while keeping the artwork looking the same.
Corrected mismatched artwork and improved cover checks to help prevent duplicate or incorrect images.
Made selections, hints, color marks, and saved progress more consistent across daily play, archive replays, and challenges. Play Again now clears hint highlights and other temporary feedback before starting an archive replay.
After you finish the daily puzzle, the results screen now reminds you that a new puzzle arrives tomorrow and suggests bookmarking the site. Daily reminders are still available there if your browser supports them.
Updated the footer layout.
Made the daily puzzle easier to scan by starting in text-only mode, trimming the intro popup, enlarging the action buttons, and moving reminder prompts out of the main flow.
Improved item details so artwork, links, and stats stay connected to the correct film or game when titles are updated.
When you use the color buttons to group tiles, the board now rearranges itself so each color group sits together at the start of a row. Hitting Shuffle does the same thing. A bug was also fixed where selecting a mix of uncolored tiles and already-colored tiles could push a color group over four tiles.
Improved page load speed: cover art now appears immediately instead of popping in after the board loads, which also fixes a layout jump on arrival. Game controls and color-mark buttons are larger on mobile for easier tapping. Several security improvements were made under the hood. You can now mark tiles with one of four colors while you think through the puzzle. Select any tiles, then use the small color dots above the board to tag them as a candidate group. Each color holds up to four tiles, and a dot disappears once its color is full. Marks are for planning only and have no effect on your score or streak. Two hint types are now available during play: Category Hint reveals the name of a random unsolved category, and Pair Hint highlights two items from the same group. Both cost one life and are only available while you have at least two lives remaining. After finishing a puzzle, you can rate it using the star prompt on the result screen. Archive puzzles now include a Challenge a Friend button that copies a link your friend can open to replay the same puzzle fresh. Once they finish, they see a side-by-side comparison of both results.
Each game tile now shows the cover art for its film or game. A toggle button above the board lets you switch between cover view and text-only view at any time, and the preference is remembered across visits. Text is larger in text-only mode for easier reading.
The archive is now much easier to use on mobile. Picking a puzzle from the list takes you straight to the game board, with a back button to return to the list. No more scrolling past the entire puzzle list to find the game.
Added optional dedication notes above the board for tribute editions and other special occasions.
You can now opt in to daily browser notifications and get a reminder each morning at 8 AM your local time. Look for the bell icon at the bottom of the page. You don't need an account, and you can turn reminders off any time. Added shortcuts in the puzzle header for Past Puzzles and daily reminders.
Updated how pages load and fixed inconsistent logo sizing across the site.
Improved page titles and fixed issues that made some pages harder to find in search results.
The footer now stays anchored to the bottom of the screen on short pages instead of getting pushed out of view.
Made daily puzzle announcements clearer, with a more direct invitation to play.
Refreshed logo images and made footer navigation consistent across all pages. Saved progress now survives category wording edits, so those changes no longer disrupt completed games.
Improved text contrast and overall performance, updated page details for search results, and added a warning when the same guess is submitted twice.
Updated browser tab icons, improved font loading, and refined the hint system so hints are unavailable when only one mistake remains.

Fixed incorrect links in item details.

Launched dedicated film and game versions, added an archive for replaying past puzzles, and improved saved progress. Also improved accessibility and added tile animations and spoiler warnings.
Initial launch with daily puzzles, a consistent shuffled board, explanations for solved groups, and a How to Play page.
