More Proposed Features for WordWalk 2.0

In WordWalk 2.0, the registered users will be able to design puzzles and challenge their friends to solve them. Part of the challenge will consist in specifying which subwords will be made known to the friend solving the puzzle and which subwords won't be made known. In this way, the puzzle designer can determine the difficulty of the puzzle beyond the number of rootwords, the number of letters involved, the number of subwords. Unregistered users will be able to choose for themselves from a vast array of puzzles in many languages, but they will not be able to design and build them.

New Domain Name Alias for WordWalk: spaghettispeller.com

 Announcing the  registration of the domain name spaghettispeller.com which currently points at wordwalk.net . The goal is to set up a separate WordWalk site for kids that uses a spaghetti and meatballs motif. The current GoDaddy cookie cutter site will be converted into a safe site for kids. Adults will be migrated over to a new wordwalk.net site that will have many features that are perhaps not appropriate for younger children.  E.g., it will allow users to register, login, create their own puzzles, share those with other users and compete in contests.  That site is currently under development and will use the Django and React tech stack. Stay tune for more announcements!
