🔊 Sounds and music on your phone too, and richer dictionaries

Until now the timer tick, the round-end alarm and the victory theme could only be heard from the main board. From today, if you want, you can hear them on your phone too.

Sound effects on your phone

When you join a room in Classic Mode, at the bottom of the page you find the 🔊 Game Sound Effects button with three switches:

• Timer Tick;
• Round-End Alarm;
• Victory Theme.

They play at the same moments as the main board. They are off by default, so no phone suddenly starts making noise: turn on only the ones you need. The Master has the last word: if they have turned a sound off for the room, the switch is locked and the note “Turned off by the Master for this room” appears.

The Jukebox, here too

Right below there is the 🎵 Jukebox, the same one as the Monitor and Integrated Mode. You can listen to your own music or, if the Master is using a YouTube video, press 🔗 Follow the Master and listen to their music in sync. When the alarm or the victory theme plays, the music lowers by itself and then comes back up.

Your choices and the volume stay saved on the device: in your next game you’ll find them just as you left them.

Richer dictionaries

In the last few days we have also enriched the dictionaries:

• English: more than 93,000 extra words, with the plurals, past tenses and adverbs that were missing (CATS, WALKED, QUICKLY) and modern words such as EMAIL, BLOG and SELFIE. Abbreviations now have their own category, “Allowed Acronyms”, which the Master can exclude;
• Spanish: adverbs ending in -MENTE (RÁPIDAMENTE, FÁCILMENTE) and words such as BLOG, CHAT, WIFI, BICI and GUAU. And the double tiles CH, LL and RR now come out 1% of the time by default, as in Spanish Scrabble (the Master can always change it);
• French: almost 115,000 extra words, with the missing conjugations and the spellings of the 1990 reform;
• Dutch: it was already almost complete, we added the few words that were missing.

You’ll find all the details in the game manual.
