Scoring changes - July 2024

We've changed the way we're scoring words, specifically where those words are five letters or longer. Previously long words would benefit from a score multiplier, and in the case of super long words this multiplier could become far larger than we ever intended, leading to some scores that are astronomical.

In this set of score changes we've removed the word length multiplier and replaced it with a correct word score multiplier.

The multiplier will start at x1. Every scored word will increase the multiplier by 0.5; words of five letters or longer will increase the multiplier by 1.5 - and this multiplier is instant and will apply to the word played and each subsequent word.

We hope these changes keep the game engaging and the battles for the top of the leaderboard even more exciting!
