Context

Currently, there is a lack of a centralized place for players to find the dictionary feature in the app. And 50% active and lapsed WWF players did not know about the dictionary feature. So that it's hard to look up the words definitions and the words played history in the app.

 
 

Solution 

We decided to introduce the dictionary feature after players played the first word and combine the definition and words of the word played list. In addition, players can tap on the words on the game board to learn more about the word.
