Poor Sports

I play the daily puzzle and when I first started playing the points to score were fairly high, over 1,000.

But now it's less than 200 and the game is over. I assume that it's because I will not pay any amount of money to play the game. Pretty pathetic.

Ads

I liked Words with Friends & have played it for a number of years.

Since I updated though, there is nothing but problems with ads that will not close.

I have to close my device & restart the game & so it goes on it’s like Groundhog Day & I don’t see a help page 👎
Now my problem is Ads not loading when I need to collect rewards.

Too many of them.

App sucks

Doesn’t allow me to play even though I have four games waiting a response, and I can’t add a single tile, much less play a word. Yes, my internet connection is strong. Game comes up, but doesn’t show the other players word and I can’t respond. Lame.

Disappointed

I kept getting temu ads and one was very inappropriate with nudity. I keep trying to block but there no way. Stop with the awful ads and this will be a fun game again.
