What changes
Word snake has a daily challenge, the same for everyone. The leaderboards of every game follow the same rules: each day's challenge, and records for the Season or all time. Every game starts and ends the same way, and Word rain can send the words you cleared to LexiMint.
New
- Word snake: the "Daily challenge" arrives. Every day the same game for everyone, with one attempt that counts for that day's leaderboard. "Free play" stays; after the challenge you can replay it in "Practice", without a leaderboard.
- New leaderboards in every game with a daily challenge. "Daily challenge" shows who did best on that day. "Records" shows each player's best result across all games, challenges included, this Season or all time: it is the same record you see on the game's page.
- Every leaderboard has one row per person. Your own place is always in view, with the players around you and how far you are from the one ahead. "Show more" lets you browse the whole leaderboard.
- Word rain and Word snake put every language together, with the language on each row. Word rain keeps phone and computer apart. Word trail and Hidden phrase use the page's language.
- Word rain: at the end of a game you can send the words you cleared to LexiMint, as in the other games. Choose which ones to send and see first how much stamina you spend.
Fixed
- Word rain: if you close a game during the countdown, before the first word falls, it does not count and the daily challenge is still yours to play.
- The Word rain card in the games list shows the daily challenge score and turns green when the game counts for the Season.
- Hidden phrase: a past day says right away that it is played as practice, without a leaderboard.
- Menus and windows opened in full screen now show.
- The selected tile in Word climb and Ten clues is no longer cut; in Daily word you can tap a tile to type in it.
- Shop: on wide screens the bundles have room for their price again.
- The "Share" button is centred again.
- Some Crossword and Word climb clues were corrected.
Improved
- Word rain: when a word lands and costs you a life, every other word on the field breaks, without points. This applies alone and in every room mode, the daily challenge included; scores already made stay.
- Every game starts with "New game" and names its games the same way: "Daily challenge", "Free play", "Practice". Each choice says what it counts for.
- At the end of every puzzle the result is in the same place, with "Choose another game". The leaderboard is always right below the game's status.
- Sending words works the same in every game: the words stay where they are and turn green when they arrive, red if they fail, with the reason.
- Full screen: every game shows its name and an exit that says what it does. If you leave Word snake during a game, the game pauses. On a phone, the end panel has the leaderboard and the words to send.
- Notifications that arrive during a game wait for the end and appear inside the game. When there are many, you see the newest and a summary of the others.
- In Word snake rooms the round's result stays on screen until you choose "See standings".
- Puzzle calendar: played days count in the language you played them, dates follow the site's language, and Daily word marks days played but not guessed as "Played".
- A new typeface for titles and a new app icon.
Notes
- New app icon: on Android with Chrome it updates by itself within a day or two. On iPhone it changes only by reinstalling: remove LexiMint from your home screen and add it again following the steps in /install, then sign in again and turn notifications back on.
- LexiMint is on Instagram: @playleximint. For now we post in Italian only; English will follow once the profiles are up and running. You can also find us on TikTok and YouTube as LexiMint.
