Buggy and frustrating
So, I never use the cheats playing other people because that just diminishes the challenges. I often practice solo games, though, and what’s been happening for a couple of month now is when a game against the “computer” finishes, it won’t allow a rematch and just bounces me back to the last move screen. In order to start another game, I have to close down the app and restart it. Add to that, even when I win against the computer, it tallies it as a “loss” on the board. Now, onto the Quick Play scheme…why are people entering games and then not playing? Why am I forced to resign and lose a turn because they won’t play just to get back to the standard playing board? Long-standing irritations have to do with the whole whiz bang add-ons, words allowed that don’t exist, and of course, I ended playing random matches because of skanky, aggressive messages from sketchy guys, a known issue for years for women that doesn’t seem to bother Zynga. Rant over. I’ll still play, but it’s becoming, in spite of all of its “enhancements”, an increasingly unwieldy and frustrating game. I know…first-world problems.Show lessBuddhabelle
Solo game, computer cheats
I have reached frustration point with this game. Just played, and computer used the word « Etnas » which they defined as « A volcano in Italy. » The word « A » signifies One, and there are no plural volcanoes with this name in Italy. Plus, it is a proper noun, the use of which computer denies to players. Computer uses Spanish or French words, such as rio or je, but when I put in a foreign word, computer rejected it. Computer, up until recently, rejected the word « Zen » but now accepts it. Not appropriate !
Often times, the computer game is described as « easy » but uses words I have never heard of, such as arcane flora or fauna from Africa or Australia or archaic money from Asian countries. And that is supposed to be the EASY game? I have a Master’s Degree in French and taught high school French, Spanish and English for thirty-eight years, so I am not vocabulary - challenged.
The developers need to do some serious work improving the solo challenges making them fairer. The rules should be the same for players and the computer. If a word is allowed for the computer, it should be allowed for players. You either include proper nouns or you don’t. The same for foreign words. ( Neither of which are accepted in Scrabble.)The easy challenges should not include such things as archaic spellings of Scottish language or weird plants from Asia. Those belong only in the more difficult challenges.Show lesslksister
Waste of $ & time
Im not sure what the algorithm is supposed to be, but on a consistent regular basis I get the same sets of letters, and Ive tried the “swap” out feature which ironically, most of the time gives me the exact same letters back again, or repeats the trended problem of giving me 3 or 4 copies of one letter. Now Im having more issues with glitches where I will try to swap but instead get an error, I get charged nontheless, plus I wont get any of my letters swapped even after “refreshing” the game like it suggests, I went from having a substantial amount of in game currency (which I paid for with real $) only to then find out there is literally no support or contact page for this sick twisted money scheme of a game. I will try to at least get what I paid for back and maybe finish using it but from the awful algorithm to even just terrible matches with “similar skilled” opponents who either are way below me in skill level or way over the top better, there is just a dozen too many things I find frustrating & infuriating the more I played.Show lessBayofpigs57
