hi Andy, As a new Four Down player, the idea of having the focus default to the letters instead of the keyboard would be much better in my opinion. Even if you left the focus on the letter deleted, that would help me. I'm a pretty good speller, but now and then I realize I used an e instead of an i and will delete it intending to immediately replace it. So, I'd like the focus to stay put so I could just fill in the letter rather than having to flick back to that spot, then fill it in. I don't know if that would be possible the way Apple does deletes, but I Thought I'd ask. It will probably take me a very long time to get through 24 puzzles, but do you have plans to add more puzzles? Great job on the game.
