Version 4.9.2
Adds support for hiding puzzles (syncs with iOS) and has the latest puzzle statistics for expert times and badges. If you have any questions or problems, emailing support@eggheadgames.com is the quickest way to reach us. Thanks! Michael @ Egghead Games
version 4.6.9
posted on 2021-10-03
Oct 3, 2021 Version 4.6.9
Adds Zen mode to hide badge information. Updates and adds Expert times to more puzzles. Renamed "Play" to "Acrostics" in various places.
** Version 4.6.5 **
It is now simpler to clear puzzles to play them again, or review recently solved puzzles. The new "Solved Puzzles" button near the bottom of the main screen replaces the separate library tab. The bottom tabs have been removed completely and Help is moved to the top of the screen above the badges. This frees up space on the screen and overall simplifies the app (and hopefully I won't get emails asking me how to re-play puzzles anymore!). The User Guide has been updated with information about expert ratings and clearing puzzles.

Aug 9, 2021 Version 4.6.6
It is now simpler to clear puzzles to play them again, or review recently solved puzzles.

This frees up space on the screen and overall simplifies the app (and hopefully I won't get emails asking me how to re-play puzzles anymore!). The User Guide has been updated with information about expert ratings and clearing puzzles.
If you have comments or suggestions about this update or any other recent updates, please email support@eggheadgames.com or use the Help - Contact Support link in the app. All these changes are designed to make the app simpler and better to use, and most of the suggestions come from existing players. Thanks, Michael @ Egghead Games
version 4.6.1
posted on 2021-07-05
Jul 5, 2021 Version 4.6.1
Added expert badges for more puzzles. Fixed some rare crashes.
Many customers have asked for expert ratings on puzzles other than Puzzle Baron. Now, finally, thanks to many people solving puzzles over the past 2 years, we have timings for all but the newest puzzles. Now, if you solve puzzles without hints, faster than most people, your Expert count will increase.
Fixed a crash caused by choosing "Solve Puzzle" and then closing the app. This was a rare but consistent crash that was showing up in the logs a few times a month for no apparent reason. It was never reported by anyone, but at Egghead Games we're a little obsessed with making our apps perfect!
Last but not least, the app size is 20-30% smaller now after finishing a 6 month migration effort from a 3rd party database. This makes the app faster to use and easier to improve.
Contact me at support@eggheadgames.com if you have any questions or feedback. Cheers, Michael

version 4.5.2
posted on 2021-05-04
May 4, 2021 Version 4.5.2
A new Cynthia Morris volume, Amazing American Women is now available. This is Volume 9 in the stimulating, enjoyable and educational American Acrostics series.
Note: please update Acrostics if you haven't this year. In version 4.4.0 onward, started and completed puzzles are stored differently and the conversion code will be removed soon. If iCloud is working properly for you, then "in theory" you won't notice any change regardless of when you update, but "in practice" there might be glitches remembering old completed puzzles in future app updates if you're running version 4.3.7 or earlier.
As always, if you have any problems, email support@eggheadgames.com any time, or tap Help - Contact Support in the app.

version 4.4.2
posted on 2021-02-14
Feb 14, 2021 Version 4.4.2
Fixes a bug where hint letters were not being saved (even though they appeared on screen). They would disappear later, for example if exiting and returning to a puzzle. Sorry about that! Thanks to the customers who contacted me - this was a tricky one to work out because they didn't disappear right away, so it looked like other things were going wrong.
