Love this game!

I've been playing this game a long time & it’s still wonderfully clever.
Wish they did make it so hard as you level up, but it’s much better than it used to be. I hope someone there is still updating words…

CYBER is a word.

Word Abacus

I’ve enjoyed word, abacus for several years. It keeps my mind sharp to look for all kinds of words at various angles. All of a sudden the screen no longer comes up horizontal, but when the game starts it is stuck in the vertical position.The game used to allow one to play with the letters horizontally, or rotate the entire screen to be 180° in the other direction, or play the game vertically. Now when the game starts one can’t rotate the screen the screen remains locked in the vertical position and it’s hard to play the game 100% of the time stuck in the vertical position.

Abacus

Abacus needs further refining. There are many words still not accepted but are correct words e.g pend.

Great game until the ending

I love this game BUT when you get to a certain level it is impossible to play. Then it abruptly ends. I can’t even see what level I was on before it starts on level one again. If that can be fixed the game would be awesome.
