What's New in Version 3.12.0 (February 18, 2024)
This update focuses on significant enhancements to the French dictionary, thanks to valuable contributions from @mccoys:
- Improved Board Generation: Letter probabilities for board creation are now dynamically calculated based on actual letter frequency within the French dictionary, resulting in more realistic and challenging gameplay.
- Letter Removal: The letters "à," "ö," "ü," and "ë" have been removed. Their infrequent use (typically limited to loanwords and less than 50 occurrences each) improved game balance.
- "Q" Rule: The letter "Q" will now always be followed by "u," reflecting standard French orthography.
