Crash

Fixed a crash related to the Pause button, just submitted the update tonight. Until the next update comes out don't press Pause when the game is already paused.

15000 more words recognized

As I wait for the 1.1 update to be approved I have made a few performance improvments and added over 15,000 words to the dictionary. If 1.1 is approved expect these updates in 1.2, however if they reject my 1.1 update I will add these improvements to it.

Improved dictionary

Working on adding lots of words to the dictionary, so Vocabular will recognize more words. If you notice any missing while playing let me know

Vocabular description

Just realized I haven't posted this, here is the description from the app store.

Vocabular is a word game that is similar to Tetris and Scrabble. A letter will drop down and you can move the letter by touching the side of the screen you want it to move to. Spell words horizontally to earn points.

Performance improvement

Big performance improvements in the 1.1 update, sorry for any lag you are experiencing currently when there are a lot of letters on the screen. It has been fixed and the update should be available soon.

Added pause and resume

Here is a new screen shot with the Pause and Resume buttons that are in the 1.1 update. Also trying out different fonts, so if anyone has an suggestions leave them in the comments.

1.1 updates

For 1.1 that I submitted today I fixed the bug where a space would be ignored and then the wrong letters would be removed from the screen. Also made some performance improvements, removed the few lowercase letters that slipped in, and added a pause and resume button. Look for the 1.1 update to be available soon

Known bugs

There is a known bug where a space between letters is ignored, and some known performance issues. Fixes for these issues were submitted for review today along with the new background posted below. An update should be out soon

In the app store

Finally in the app store.  Here is the current screen shot.  So is this cleaner interface better, or is it better with the arrows and the labels?

Screenshot

Here is the latest screen shot of Vocabular.  In the first release that I submitted for approval, the arrows aren't there and the text 'Next' and 'Score' aren't there.  After showing it to a few people they weren't sure how the game worked, so this should help.  Tap the left side of the screen (where the left arrow is or above or below it) to move a letter to the left.  Same with the right side to move to the right.  In the upper left corner you will see the next letter that you will get, in the upper right is your score.  Simple.
