Update · 2026-09-15
What shipped this release:
- Suds now keeps rewarding faster solves no matter how long you take, and in Zolified Equation a reveal no longer scrambles what you have typed.
- Zolified Equation no longer costs you points for extra guesses — only the timed reveals do; and solving an Equation no longer leaves a stray row of locked symbols under your winning guess.
- Zolified reveals now stop one short — the last symbol is always yours to work out.
- Revealed letters now stay locked in place when you come back to a game you left part-way through.
- Equation answers are now always one or two digits, and giving up a game shows the same white flag everywhere.
- When Zol's Cipher Easy fills in the last letter for you, the result now says so and shows you the word.

What shipped this release:
- Home: kill the blank lag when returning from a game (reduce it and/or show a spinner)
- Trivia: +5s to every tier's timer, and reset the Zolified removal countdown each question
- Reduce API Lambda cold starts — the intermittent 5-7s prod slowdowns (bump memory, then SnapStart / lazy imports)
Update · 2026-08-25
What shipped this release:
- A new *Patch Notes* tab in Resources shows what's shipped over the last few months.
- Shareable result card — server-rendered OG image + dynamic share page
- Prevent duplicate word submissions — submit lock, deferred spinner, server-side dedupe
- A genuine solve holds the per-game streak (drop the 1-point-solve break)
- Enrich the share card to MATCH the in-app result card (per-game detail + viz)
- Added a *❔ Gameplay Help* link under the game name on every solo game's play screen — tap it to re-read the how-to-play (or watch the animation) mid-game. The game pauses while it's open, so checking the rules never costs you time.
- The "New here? Here's the whole story" explainer link now greets you on the very first Sign In screen, before you pick a login method.
