Wordtwist board audit complete

[admin]

Just a quick note to let you know that the entire Wordtwist board library has been reaudited this week to fix the occasional "impossible" word glitch that a few players have found since our update earlier this year. In total, about 2.2% of 5x5 boards were updated (i.e. found to have had this bug), and 0.3% of 4x4 boards.

As a matter of curiosity, what happened to the records for those boards? Were they all reset, too?

No records were changed.

I didn't keep exact stats on the splits but within the 2.2% of boards that needed to be updated, many many more boards had valid words missing than had invalid words allowed. I'd guess around 90-95%. For the 40-50 boards that actually lost a "valid" word in this update, those records will naturally be reset over time anyway once each board has been played a certain number of times.
