March 7, 2023: Keyboard shortcuts and page design

We're very close to public launch!

In preparing for public launch, I have updated the theme and branding throughout the project a bit. I've also changed from basic comments to a community discussion board to allow for more flexible discussions and threads.

Finally, as I've been testing this myself I've played a lot across mobile device and desktop. Whenever I've played on desktop, I've naturally tried to hit "Tab" to move from one input box to the next. I finally got so annoyed by my own habit that I just updated the game to accommodate myself. So now there's keyboard shortcuts!

When playing on desktop, the following keyboard shortcuts are now available:

• Tab: Select next input box, moving from the top of the screen downward. If no input box is selected, tab will select the puzzle code box at the top of the screen.
• Enter: Check answers. Enter now functions exactly the same as the "Check Answers" button.

With these shortcuts, it's possible to play an entire puzzle without lifting your hands from the keyboard! Now you can Wordfive faster than ever!

We'll see you in a couple days for our official launch!
