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.

Sadly the developers have ruined this game. Every time you take a turn now you have to watch some bull crap ads and some of those will not clear until they open a web page or the App Store. When I first started playing I bought the ad free version. That apparently is no longer a thing. I like playing on my skill and do not use the “advantages” because what’s the point if your not being honest? I’ve been playing without any of that and the main thing I cannot take is the adds that constantly after every turn make you wait to play and sometimes won’t clear till you close the app and reopen it. If that’s not enough the header at the top of the game constantly pelts you with adds as well. I hate that I cannot play this game honestly and know that others are as well. I expect my opponents are using the advantages but I mostly win unless they are using one of the cheats other than the ones tied into the game. Obviously the developers are money hungry and seems that’s all they care about cause you can spend money to get the advantages and all that. It would be great if they got rid of all that crap and made a straight up game no strings attached, play by your skill not your cheats. Sorry for the rant but there are plenty others like me I know that just enjoy playing without being bombarded with ads and opponents that may or may not be cheating. Guess I go back to my wordjong and scrabble, too many frustrations with what this game has become.

I have played this for years and love it, but a few weeks ago, I have no idea what happened, but all of my friends that I play with disappeared, my profile name and picture changed, (and I did not change it) and I could get nothing back!! I even tried to look up my friends and get them back, I even tried through Facebook, they even tried sending me a new friend request to no avail, and it’s a total mystery what happened! I tried to contact Words with no response! I left an email address, but no response. I tried deleting the app and starting fresh and nothing worked. I did get invites from “people” that I didn’t know, but I think they were fakes or robots or something since every time I played, even at 3AM, “everyone” immediately played a word back and I just don’t believe that if they were real people, every single one of them would be immediately responding with their word at 3AM (most people aren’t up at 3AM). Even when it’s not 3AM, every single time I played a word, there was an immediate response, which just does not happen. So how could this have happened and how can it be resolved? Is there really any customer service out there to help with this? This is not the first time I’ve tried to get an answer about something on this app with absolutely no response.
