Hello Wordsmiths!

This update introduces a highly requested quality-of-life feature: Planned Turns. You no longer have to wait for your opponents to finish to start cooking up your next big word. We’ve also gone through the library with a fine-toothed comb to fix several card-specific bugs.

New Feature: Planning Mode
Draw Early: You can now enter a "Planning Mode" from the Waiting for Player screen. This allows you to see your next hand and stage a word while your opponent finishes their turn.

Seamless Transitions: Your staged word will now correctly save and carry over when it officially becomes your turn.

Lobby Flow: Improved the UI to make returning to the lobby and checking game status smoother while in planning mode.

Card & Power Fixes
The "J" Card: Fixed a bug where the J (Double Word Score) would disappear from staging but fail to trash itself, staying in your deck indefinitely.

The "T" Card: Patched the 3x adjacent bonus card to ensure the "trash after use" effect triggers properly.

Look/Discard Powers: Fixed a logic flip where selecting cards to discard was accidentally keeping them instead.

Auto-Reshuffle: The "Look" power now automatically triggers a reshuffle if your deck is empty, ensuring you always see the correct number of cards.

Visual Polish: Fixed an issue where cards in hand would occasionally highlight incorrectly.

Trash & Economy Fixes
Fixed a major bug where the Trash stack wasn't clearing between different games. You will no longer see "stale" cards from previous sessions in your current trash pile!

Trash for Cash: Fixed several instances where trashing cards (specifically the "Trash 2" power) failed to award the $1 or $3 bonus.

Stacking Effects: Resolved logic conflicts that occurred when trying to trigger multiple different trash effects in a single turn.

UI Clarity: Corrected a labeling error where the Discard pile was incorrectly showing a "TRASH" header during certain card-gain effects.

Multiplayer & Co-op
Co-op Fame: Fixed a bug in online Co-op mode where Fame cards were failing to appear.
