New Mode: Keypad/Phone style
I suggested it in chat. Basically, a selection of random numbers, maybe 6 or 9. Each number represents a cross-section of the alphabet, and could be displayed like the keys on a phone. Each number can be used only once. A possible unique feature would be that if a 1 came up, like on a phone it could...

How about, while keeping the standard-ish formats of junior and hyper in their normal places, that there also be an option in the custom menu for no. of letters?

Re: Feature requests
Ok, I've been suggesting lots of mildly interesting but utterly useless features, but now I'll try something useful.
Apterous training games, 'rigged' games which purposely have words from most missed lists and stem lists as maxes. Probably a lot of work though, just a thought.
