What's New in Version 3.0

This version provides new features!
1. If the user gets the word wrong and the timer expires, we'll show you how to spell it with an animation. If you have activated Voice in the Settings, we'll speak the word too.
2. We've added sounds and animations as a reward for getting a word right:
- Rocket ships fly across the screen with rocket sounds
- Butterfly floats to harp music
- Flowers appear to the sound of a music box
- Balloons float up with a cartoon sound
- Fireworks explode with crackle and boom
- Stars appear to a shimmering sound

Technical issues resolved:
1. Major bug fix on Settings change from higher number of letters to lower.
2. Optimized image display for lower memory footprint.
