0.5.0 Released!

Hey friends! I added a few new things and fixed some bugs, so here is v0.5.0:

• Added “next letter” hint
• Made the block spawning a touch faster
• Hitting Spacebar when you have letters selected that don’t make a valid word will now quick-deselect all
• You can press S or Down Arrow to spawn a block manually — because of the risk, spawning blocks like this gives you a score multiplier of up to 50%
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: you might encounter a bug where spawning a block conflicts with a block already spawned, and somehow ends the game. Let me know if you encounter this!
• Scoring tweak: bigger words are encouraged by giving a score multiplier based on the number of tiles in the word

And here’s a reminder of the basics:

• Click on letters to make words -- letters must be next to or diagonal to the last selected letter, but they can be in any direction
• Hit Submit to submit a valid word -- Enter and Space are quick ways to submit
• Q will deselect all letters
• Letter swap: gives you the ability to swap letters vertically or horizontally, and runs on a timer once used
• Make a 5+ letter word and you get a bomb powerup to help clear blocks -- accrue multiple bombs if you want
• Rare letters are worth more points, and bigger words get you a bonus
• Get a score multiplier up to 50% for manually spawning blocks with S or Down Arrow
