Re: Recent Changes to Word Searches?
Hmmm... Well, there hasn't been an update to wordsearches in recent memory.

Realistically, though, wordsearches should have a minimum word length of 3 characters... Previously I hadn't considered or seen a single character word -- let alone that word twice. That certainly causes some issues for word detection I'd imagine. Indeed, it just shouldn't allow the same word to be in there twice.

So thanks for reporting... I'd consider the bugs here are more in the setup process than in the wordsearch itself.

They're also pretty out of date and I don't think they work at all on mobile. It's very low on the todo list. *Heart*
