Anyone out there had this problem with TextTwist! yet?

I was playing a game, score of approximately 143,000. Next word comes up but there are no \"underlines\" to hold a 6-letter word. I\'m not sure if I had entered the 6-letter work if it would have filled in on the screen properly but time ran out before I could get it.

I\'ve also had a couple of occasions where there was no 6-letter word required but, after I finished the complete word list I was allowed to continue with the next word.

I have a screen shot of this available but I wasn\'t sure how to attach it to this message, if that\'s possible.

Absolutely LOVE the game!

Hi,

Thanks to a few people who last month were able to give me some concrete examples of when some puzzles had come up without a 6 letter word, I was able to trace down and confidently fix the problem :)

I\'m expecting to release an update sometime next month, but I\'m considering what other features I might be able to add...

All the best,

Howard.

I also found this problem once before.

Feature: A \'blank screen\' pause for when the game re-starts after being turned off.
I also noticed that if the game is exited (or powered off)at the end of time for one \'letter combination\', when you restart, the next letter combination starts immediately.

Howard,

I downloaded the latest version of TextTwist! yesterday to take care of the \"no 6-letter word\" problem. However, I had the problem again this morning using version 1.12.

The six letters were \"B\" \"A\" \"S\" \"I\" \"N\" \"B\". I was able to enter the 5-letter word \"BASIN\" but that showed as the last word in the list - no underscores were displayed to show that any 6-letter word could be entered. My score at the time was 40,980. (I have a screenshot available if it would be of any use to you.)

As far as new features for TextTwist!, I would love to be able to move on to the next word without having to wait for the timer to reach zero. There have been times when I\'ve gotten most of the words (including the 6-letter word) and have simply wanted to move on without trying to finish the list.
