I have enjoyed playing word search until a few days ago. I can no longer click and play. It comes up but when I click on the "play" nothing happens. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone know

Does anyone know what the problem may be. Thanks. December 28th. I just played word search. "It let me play once. That was it. How long does it take for them to fix something? Maybe they are just fooling with us. You think? |

In Response to Re: Word Search: Thank you so much for putting the traditional word search back on, instead of what I considered to be a boring, inane Pillsbury word search, that didn't work well on my computer! Posted by agsvan Agsvan, Thank you for your comment on the word search game. One day I get the old version which works very well. On other days, I get what looks like the old word search game, but when I click to play it, it gives me the Pillsbury version which when I click on its play button, nothing happens. Have you had any success getting your problem fixed? The whole thing has been all fouled up for over a week now. Thanks for yor comment. |

I love to play Word Search. Sometimes it comes up and I can play it and sometimes it doesn't. Then at other times the Pillsbury Word Search will come up and when I click the play button, nothing happens. I prefer the Word Search game that was available before the Pillsbury game replaced it.. Whatever happened to that version of Word Search? |

I'm experiencing the same problem. When I select to play Word Search all is ok until the final screen to actually play the game. The old Pillsbury page comes up and when I click on the button to play, nothing happens. This is happening on both of my computers. Just in case it was as a result of some file saved on my computer, I ran a disk cleanup and then restarted/refreshed my computer. Still having the same problem. I hope this game is fixed soon and back to the original game. The Pillsbury Word Search was ok, but when I used the 'hint' button, many times the quick flash of the 'hint' letter was not discernable because the flash color was almost the same as the background color. It's great having these games handy to play. Thanks, AARP.

I also noticed before it went off it wasn't recording scores properly. |

Here I go again. I played word search this morning, once. That was it. "It" won't let me play again. The problem with the situation has already been stated. How long does it take to fix a problem? Maybe "they" are just fooling with us. |

I, too am writing to register my complaint about the new Word Search "Pillsbury". A couple of days ago the old puzzle was available, but its gone again. I guess I will check once in a while to see if it's back. One can hope....... |

What's going on with Word Search??? I have played it for several years and then all of a sudden you changed it to the boring Pillsbury Word Search. Then you put the old one back on and I was super excited, only to have the Pillsbury one come up every now and then and you can't even play it. Get rid of the Pillsbury one, and put the old one back on. |
