A full logo refresh just rolled out across the current Word Tycoon game lineup, with new icon treatment now live for Searchle, Word5000, recTangled, eRecTangled, Figural, and Betwixt. The goal was not to redraw the games into something generic. It was to preserve the look of the new logo art while cleaning it up enough to work across homepages, game pages, social previews, manifests, and installed web-app surfaces.
What changed
The new game art now appears on the Word Tycoon hub, the individual game marketing pages, the public portal cards, and the standalone game sites where those games own their own favicon, Apple touch icon, and manifest icons. That includes the current Searchle, Word5000, recTangled, eRecTangled, Figural, and Betwixt surfaces. Legacy padding issues were also corrected so the icons do not read like a small badge floating inside a larger app icon anymore.
Why the icon work mattered
This refresh was not just a homepage polish pass. Installed web-app icons and support files were updated too, because a logo rollout is incomplete if the browser tab, install prompt, app icon, and game hub all disagree about what the game looks like. The icon exports were re-normalized so they fill the canvas correctly while still staying very close to the original art you would actually recognize from the game.
One honest caveat
If you already installed one of the affected games as a PWA, your phone or desktop may still show the old icon until you remove and reinstall the app. Browser and launcher icon caches are aggressive. The live sites are updated, but installed-app icon refreshes are not always instant on existing devices.
Which games were part of this pass
This rollout covered Searchle, Word5000, recTangled, eRecTangled, Figural, and Betwixt. Those were the games with the new cleaned logo assets ready to go, so they got the thorough multi-surface pass first. The rest of the catalog can follow with the same process once the final logo sources are ready.
