What's new since 2.5

  • The first launch now just speaks your language — it no longer asks. 2.5 opened with a second card
    offering you a word list. That card is gone from the normal path: the app downloads your device's own
    language straight away, switches to it, and tells you so in a short message above the keyboard. A
    wrong guess on our side costs you one tap on the header button, which changes the language at any
    moment, where asking cost a whole screen before you had seen the game.
  • The picker stays as a fallback for languages we don't host. If your device is set to a language
    that has no word list here — Turkish, Japanese — there is nothing to adopt, so you still get the sheet
    and pick from the 17 we do have. Leaving those players on 510 built-in English words silently is the
    exact problem this replaced.
  • Nothing changes if you already have a word list. Anyone updating from 2.5 or earlier keeps the
    language they were playing in; the adoption only ever runs on an install that has never downloaded
    one. And it never swaps the list out mid-guess — if a board is in progress, the new language waits
    for the next game.
  • A first launch with no network retries on the next one instead of stranding that install on the
    built-in list for good.
