Fixes and refinements for the 2.0 launch: APPLE PENCIL, FIXED PROPERLY Scratch out a letter and it disappears, ink and all, just like on paper. Deleting always leaves a clean cell, and writing a new letter over an old one replaces it completely. Thanks to the solver who reported this one. SMALL TOUCHES The post-solve rating now makes clear it is about how much you enjoyed the puzzle. Plus small fixes throughout.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
