What's new

A polish update for the new solving experience. The puzzle title now has its own row below the toolbar, so big puzzles scroll fully clear of the floating controls. Completed clues dim cleanly from either end, making it clearer which lines you've finished. Plus smoother, faster performance, quicker in-app support, and localization and accessibility refinements across every language.
