Good game killed by greedy intrusive ads update. Had this for years and used to it's short ads between each play, used it this morning to find they've been extended to half minute mini movies you can't click out of. It's so intrusive, as it's between every move, that i will be uninstalling it. So sheer greed driving players away, which in the end will hurt the advertisers too. Very disappointing.

REPEATEDLY OPENS PAGES (ADS) IN YOUR BROWSER! It's more about ads than it is about playing the game. Riddled with adverts, they pop up constantly & the costs to remove them (temporarily) are ridiculously high. Don't get into this game unless you'll be ok with so many adverts. It also hijacks the audio of your device, you can turn off all the game audio, but when it launches one of its many adverts, it will mute whatever audio your phone is trying to play, including your music!

Unskippable ads after EVERY. SINGLE. MOVE. very frustrating app to use. Who also thought that the best way to improve a game is to add a billion different power ups, bonuses, mini-games, etc.?!?! They are so pointless and bombard you with a bunch of pop-ups telling me to collect a bunch of nonsense rewards after each game. This game was amazing when it was just words with friends; plain and simple. Now it is a complete mess.
