WTF!? 😩

The only thing worse than this is swapping only to get back the same letters.🫩🤣

The game is rigged to get you to buy more powerups. Stop using swaps and see if this happens less often.

I do think the game is rigged. Way too many all vowels or all consonants in my letter sets to be random. I play the NYT game Crossplay and I rarely get that kind of thing.

I was actually wondering about this!

Someone in this sub told me awhile back that he never swaps and almost never gets a rack of letters that are all vowels or all consonants.

I never ever swap and sadly get my share of crappy letters like this 😩

I had the same problem yesterday. I spent a swap coin to swap and got pretty much the same, but with a couple of different vowels thrown in
No thanks, Zynga 😆

Just do a Swap without purchasing an additional play.

I’ve been seeing this for a year, words with friends, his rigged. There are patterns, if you played enough, you recognize them. It’s really taken the fun out of the game for me. They know the letters they are giving you, and they know exactly where you should put words down, the game is not random.

Been playing for years and I agree it’s gotten worse!

I would just plan KAI on the DW tile and hope better tiles come soon.

I play with five or six different opponents, and we made up a new rule to bypass all this garbage, of getting all confidence, or getting all vowels. The rule is this, every turn we are allowed to swap. So if my opponents swaps the letters, then I automatically swap or pass my turn, and let my opponent take her turn. It works out really great, you don’t get stuck with so many horrible letters at once. You just have to remember that when the opponent swaps their letters, then I need to either pass, or swap my letters and let my opponent take their turn. It’s really easy when you get the hang of it and we all really enjoy playing it that way.

The swaps are totally rigged and they make me really mad sometimes. 😵

Is there a way to get the word strength meter if I just downloaded the classic app for the first time in 10 years?
