Fix Visited And Hover Styling For Footer

Legendary for random puzzles, but now even links get personality. In 2026, users expect visual cues - especially when returning to familiar paths. The fix adds proper :visited states to .footer-link and mirrors .random-again a with full :visited and :hover behavior, closing a long-standing gap in link feedback. Here’s what changed:

  • Consistent states: No more blank :visited - every click now shows clear color shifts.
  • Visual feedback: Hovering reveals subtle shadows on footer links, while visiting deepens the hue - no more guessing what’s active.
  • Font clarity: The .random-again link now matches footer with matching transitions, boosting scannability.

Visited links now feel intentional, not invisible. Hover effects anchor attention without distraction. This fix keeps UX tight and modern - especially as puzzle apps compete for focus in crowded feeds.

But here is the deal: never skip :visited in link styling - it’s a basic trust signal. When users see a link change color on revisit, they know it’s safe, familiar, and unchanged.

  • Do: Always style :visited explicitly - don’t rely on browser defaults.
  • Don’t: Ignore hover states on active links, or mix inconsistent colors.
  • Bucket Brigades: Small details like link states build a polished, trustworthy feel - vital for puzzle fans who expect precision.

In a world where digital habits shape attention spans, these tweaks aren’t silly - they’re essential for keeping users coming back, one click at a time.
