Release notes,
in plain text.

Highlights

• New pages for each kind of game: word games, logic puzzles, arcade games, board and card games, spatial puzzles and memory games, each with a short guide to what's inside
• The category names in the footer and on the games list now open those pages
• Every game shows where it sits, like Home / Games / Logic puzzles / Sudoku, so you can jump to more of the same kind in one tap
• About, Contact, Privacy, Request a game and the changelog show the same trail back home

Fixes

• Empty ad spaces no longer leave a blank box above the game; on phones the game now starts at the top of the screen
• Closing the end-of-game box by accident no longer loses a top-10 score: a reminder pops up with a Submit button, and the game's scoreboard keeps a "your last run" row until you send it or skip it
• Games based on a well-known puzzle now say in their questions section how they compare with it: what's the same, and what's different

• Paddle Ball moves to a night table-tennis table with lit paddles, a rally counter and a flash for every point

• Mini Crossword looks like newsprint, Word Groups uses raised word cards, Sun and Moon has illustrated suns and moons, and Word Hive is a honeycomb
• Marble Shooter rolls its chain along a groove carved into a sandstone court, and aa shows the next pins waiting to fire
• Four in a Row has a blue frame with glossy red and yellow chips that drop in behind it, and a strike through the winning four
• Solitaire, FreeCell and Spider Solitaire sit on green felt with new cards: serif corners, framed court cards and lattice backs
• Color Sequence is an electronic console whose pads glow when they light
• Dots and Boxes is drawn in pen on graph paper, with claimed boxes hatched in your colour
• Nonograms has clearer clues that fade once a line is done, plus a crosshair for the row and column you're on
• Bubble Shooter has glossy bubbles, an aqua playfield and a cannon, and pops throw droplets
• New landing thumbnails for many games, so the listing matches what you'll play
• Games are now titled with the site's own names, and new About and Contact pages explain who runs 404 skill

Fixes

• Number Path puzzles now have exactly one way through, on a clearer board with keyboard play
• 2048 tiles slide and merge with motion, and Snake gets a livelier board
• Falling Blocks glows in a dark well, gives you a moment to slide a piece before it locks, and pauses when you switch away
• Block Fit lights up the lines a drop will clear and shows the points each drop scores
• /games is now a searchable listing with category and mood filters you can share as a link
• Game pages suggest similar games, and "Up next" picks one you haven't tried
