In the old version, while your opponent was playing, you could set up a word and see what the points would be (while waiting for your opponent to finish their turn). Now, it you do that, the word gets taken down when your opponent finishes their turn. Then, you have to set the word up all over again.

Also, this was helpful if you wanted to try alternative words while your opponent was playing their turn. This way you could see which word was worth the most points.

is it possible to restore this feature? to be able to set up words and see the possible points that word would be worth. And to not have the word taken down only to have to be put up again.

Hope this makes sense

@moonriver how do you use the old format? I am playing on my android phone. Ever since the new board, I cannot place tiles. Arrows don't work either

@mikeveep yes, I have tried that. Doesn't seem to fix the problem. But, thanks for your help.

@dan-mitchell I tried to play live. It worked fine until about my fourth turn. Then they started flying again. Also played via email and it worked for the first 2 games and the third tiles flew.

Seems like something with the ads to me. I don't know why

@dan-mitchell yes, definitely something with my phone, an android, the link that is sent in the email? Will have my friend review all these messages

@dan-mitchell so, I haven't played live on my phone. For some reason, the tiles are not flying as of 2 mins ago. I was going to try to play live if the tiles were flying. I will try to play live when they fly again

@lexolouse no issues with email on my laptop either

@dan-mitchell I play live on my laptop. No issues when I play on my laptop

@dan-mitchell Will do. Again, thanks so much for reaching out and trying to help.

Just an FYI, I have 3 email games going. When I signed-in, the tiles worked for the first game, when O clicked "next" for the next game, the tiles were flying again. I signed out, signed back in, and they were still flying.

I don't know how to do a screen recording. A screenshot would not show the tile flying back. It would be impossible to catch as the tiles fly so fast back to the bottom. Also, there has been numerous people explaining this problem. I think the picture is very clear. Wish I was more savvy, but I am not.

I may give up. Seems like too much trouble at this point.

Thanks so much for the reply.

I went to both
https://www.lexulous.com/ https://www.lexulous.com/v2/

The same scenario happened with both:
I clicked the link and was brought to a page requiring me to sign in. Signed in, and the tiles were still flying.

Then, I signed out, repeated the sign-in process, and the tiles DID NOT fly (both links you provided). I am not tech savvy at all. So, am I correct to assume that I will need to sign in, sign out, and then sign back in every time I play?

You asked about it being an old android ..the phone is a year old. All is up to date.

As for chrome and extensions. That is way above my head and will need to ask a friend to help look into that.

I appreciate you taking the time to try and help.

@mistertoad Thanks for responding. I don't play through the app. I play through email. I tried to install the app, hoping the problem would be solved in the app, but I had the same problem in the app.

I can't seem to locate the "flying tiles" thread.
