Respect player choices

Respect player choices to not have to interact with people they do not know and are not friends with, and let us opt out of matching with random people in settings. Please also address the app size since this app now takes 2.5 GB for no clear reason.

too many fake words. EMF Is “EMF”. Not a valid word but accepted as a valid word. I see one or two of these. Cut it with these fake words with no definition but accepted as a real word

So unhappy

A group of friends play Words W Friends that has developed even deeper friendships. This morning (8/29/2026) the ads were titled "You don’t have to pay to Watch". It showed an extremely busty woman sticking out her breasts in a vulgar way. (Twice and much worse the 2nd time). I’ve stopped the games and I can't, in good conscience, play it again. I will tell everyone why. Isn’t there something you can change?

Update always needed

Not only do I feel like I have to update this app every other day but the Temu ad is ridiculous. You have the WHOLE page to click the ad and only a small corner to click the X yet the darn ad takes you a pop up that says cancel or confirm and even if you hit cancel it auto takes you to the app. I have to force close the app every time just to get past the ad. At least the rest of the ads (while annoyingly not of interest) close when you tap the X. The Temu ad is redundant and making me want to just delete this app after having it over 12 years.

Ads, pay to play, buggy

App is super buggy and FULL of ads. Has a lot of useless “rewards”. Ads always have small X buttons too to ensure they get their clicks. Crashes often or ads just pull up a black screen you so you have to hard close the app.

WWF

It’s a decent game, only problem is that you will never get the correct amount of club trophies you have earned. On an average of 8000 trophies a week I don’t get. I used to pay for the pass every month, but I quit buying it because of this. We have lost several times because of this. I got an email from zynga apologizing for this problem. I the played the game and of course I didn’t get 2200 trophies. It’s unfixable apparently, or they have no idea how to. Zynga is hiding an algorithm that cuts off your 25 free ad coins the moment you buy a pass. Here is our proof. Like many of you, I noticed that once you or someone in your club buys a pass in Words With Friends, the daily option to watch ads for 25 free coins suddenly vanishes and gets replaced exclusively with useless power-ups. When I reached out to Zynga support, they flat-out denied it and called it a "coincidence." So, my club and I decided to run a controlled, multi-day test to see if their algorithm is quietly altering rewards for paying users. Our Test Setup: We tracked 5 active players in our club (including my wife and son) who all consistently averaged 25 free coins a day from ad viewing prior to purchasing a pass. Day 1: My wife bought a pass. Instantly, the 25 free coin ad option disappeared and was replaced by power-ups. Day 2: My son bought a pass. The exact same thing happened immediately to him. The Control Group: The remaining club members who did not buy a pass continued to receive their 25 coins daily without interruption. This isn’t random. It’s a systemic trigger tied directly to the pass purchase mechanism that strips away promotional ad-rewards once you spend money. We aren't looking for refunds—we just want Zynga to stop hiding it, drop the automated denials, and tell the players the truth about how their reward system actually functions. Thank you for your feedback. We truly appreciate you sharing your detailed experience with us. It’s clear that the trophy and ad coin issues have significantly impacted your enjoyment of the game, and we value your insights on this. Your observations regarding the changes in ad rewards after purchasing a pass are important, and we are checking into this matter internally. We encourage you to contact our in-game support team with any issues you may have. Thank you for playing Zynga Games." This is the letter they sent me for this review. It’s a lie as well, I’ve gotten this same letter several times over a 2 to 3 year battle with Zynga. They know what they’re doing and won’t fix it. TRUTH is not in them.

Spend more time with ads than playing

I used to love this game. 15 years! However the ads are just getting so bad. They are the most ridiculously-in-your-face garbage. At least there’s the option to pay $14 a month to get rid of them (which is nearly as annoyingly aggressive as the ads)… gee thanks The same complaint I have - I see the developer responding to others, saying “your feedback is important to us and we’re working on it“ with NO correction. They’re just responding to save face. It’s about to go. 😞

Ads during turn

What is this now that while I am thinking about what I’m going to play, ads pop-up in the middle of my turn! I’ve had a number of ads that stick so long and/or don’t give you a way out that I have to quit the game. I don’t think that’s what you want. We used to be able to earn points to get a free tile swap, etc. Now I’m watching 30 second to two minute ads and I earned maybe one point a week.

No Longer User Friendly

You earn trophies and on Tuesdays, they are stolen and sometimes you will just be left with 500 trophies down from maybe even 80,000+. Also if you get a streak going ? ☠️beware☠️ because they’re going to cut it . . . whether it’s a streak between opponents on how many days you played the game, or the very very important GUESSWORD streak, which I had up to 233 and they have again reset me down to zero. The customer service in the past has been great. However, they have grown tired of me pointing out the problems and will no longer help me. Again, my GUESSWORDstreak (almost 700) and it’s been cut again. They simply do not keep track, they do not care. YOU WILL NEED CONTINUOUS “SUPPORT” AND THIS SUPPORT IS NOT FRIENDLY
