LOVE is in the air with this The Valentine’s Day Update. As is our custom, we have added more playable texts:
— a new collection of eight LOVE-themed texts including some Fitzgerald, some Victor Hugo in translation and a bit more Shakespeare, as requested in User Reviews
— all the “Selected Poems” are now playable (for a total of eight)
— all the “Pickin’s From Dickins” are also now playable at long last (for a total of 12)
Other improvements introduced are:
— a Novelty Exposure Gauge which indicate the fraction of Novel possibilities for a given text that have been show to you during the current gaming session
— many more Achievements with better progress messages, suggestions for experimentation and browsing in the Gallery
— the Tutorial has been streamlined (Thank-you for the feedback, Notorious R.O.B.)
As always, thank-you for your wonderful feedback and reviews. Your LOVE of WordWhile warms the HEART of The WordWhile Editorial Team (a.k.a. Me). Send me a Valentine: greg@goojaji.com

The sonnet ”Remember” by Christina Georgina Rossetti, Lord Byron‘s ”She Walks In Beauty” and Yeat’s “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”. The other texts in Dickens and Selected Poems will be along shortly. The WordWhile Editorial Team is almost finished work on the Major-General's Song. How do you make a silly song sillier?

More texts, a new app icon and lines in the right order!
1) The first eight (of a planned 12) texts in "Pickin's from Dickens" are here to play. "Flite's birds" in Timed Tricky mode is exceptionally brutal.
2) The raw (readable in Choose & Peruse but not yet playable) texts for the next collection, "Selected Poems".
3) New app icon that I call "Chill & Skull". Hoping it better conveys WordWhile's mix of classy and playful. Let me know what you think wordwhile@goojaji.com.
4) We have also fixed a bug causing lines of text to appear out of order, as that just will not do.
The texts in the collection "Player's Picks" speak volumes. Thanks for your support and enjoy the Dickens out this update (sorry, I couldn't resist).

2017-09-02
New Texts! A collection of Children's Classics to challenge and delight: nursery rhymes, tongue twisters, nonsense poems and some "Poems Every Child Should Know". Coming next: "Pickin’s from Dickens"
We have removed the sharing feature in this update, as it was proving problematic for Librarians, Teachers and others wishing to introduce younger players to the delights of WordWhile. Please contact greg@goojaji.com for more information and support should the loss of this feature be particularly upsetting to you.
Need we remind you, Dear Player, that a rating on the App Store is always appreciated? Why yes, you **could** do it this very moment. Thank-you for your encouragement!

We humbly submit that the brief Tutorial in WordWhile is greatly improved in this Version. Some trifling “bugs” have also been eliminated.
**** Please do take a moment to ”rate and review”, as they say. ****
A Collection of Children's Classic texts (nursery rhymes and the like) is coming soon. Send your text suggestions/requests to greg@goojaji.com.
