99 Club Studio v1.24.0 — vocabulary games, worked examples and selective review

Release date: 11 September 2026

Games & Puzzles

  • Replaces the small inline vocabulary bank with the curated UK-primary database: 591 term/definition records mapped by year/topic/subtopic.
  • Adds Maths Crossword as the third printable game engine. Crossword and Word Search share the same vocabulary provider, including teacher-local custom vocabulary.
  • Adds a common Worked examples pack option: none, or a front page containing one worked example for each selected game engine.
  • Adds preview review controls modelled on Custom Worksheets:
    • ↻ on a whole activity replaces only that game item with another of the same engine/settings;
    • ↻ beside a Word Search clue replaces only that term + definition pair, keeps the other selected terms, and rebuilds the grid to fit the replacement.
  • Manual review controls are preview-only and never print.

Word Search directions

Word direction is now independently configurable rather than being hidden inside difficulty:

  • Auto for difficulty — Easy uses left→right/top→bottom; Standard adds diagonals; Challenge permits all eight directions including backwards/upwards.
  • Left→right + top→bottom
  • Straight + diagonals
  • Any direction including backwards

This keeps difficulty and direction related by sensible defaults while still letting a teacher override the puzzle mechanics.

Vocabulary

  • Built-in vocabulary is externalised to assets/99club/games-vocabulary.js rather than being buried in games-engine.js.
  • Ratio & proportion is exposed as a Games topic for Year 6.
  • Extension vocabulary is excluded from normal automatic Easy/Standard selection and becomes available in Challenge.
  • Teacher-added vocabulary remains local/private and is still importable/exportable.

Regression boundary

Public 99 Club maths generation, Custom Worksheet maths, graph/coordinate/pie/angle generators and the 104 active graphical-angle subtypes are unchanged by this release.
