The new related words feature

Thanks guys, it's handy when coming across new characters. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned on the forum before? - To access it, click the magnifying glass on the character info pane.

Seems the 4 words are just random which is a good start, I'm sure we will all have our opinions on showing old and new words.

It has been mentioned before but it still a great feature. I love it and over use it probably. My queue is now way to large to handle:-) So many nice words to learn and so little time. One thing though about this might to be sort out the words that is having "place holder". They are usually rather rare so they should probably not be added anyway.

I agree, could the popup only show non-placeholder words?

I have a bug to fix such that it doesn't display placeholders as often, but yeah, I'll see if it can skip over those that remain. It's actually trying to sort the words by ease/frequency and put the most useful ones at the top.
