Yeah, things seem to be going faster for me too. What really bugs me is when people keep try random letter combinations to try to guess before I even start drawing. I’ve got a friend who does this, and it drives me buggy. But I think I’m finally caught up! ---

Oh, I had someone who did that, a random opponent. They would put nonsense groups of letters from the very start of the turn (“blurk,” “pople” etc) over and over again while my drawing was unfolding (I finally deleted them). Before I took it out of my game rotation (I also play SkyWords, Words With Friends, and Dice with Buddies), I noticed that the guesses were lightning-fast, faster than anyone could find and tap the tiles, but the ones who had watched the drawing still didn’t start till they placed the first tile. ---

The new version seems to have fixed a few glitches, games I had with people which became unplayable are now playable again. So anyone who has a game open with me that we haven’t touched in a while - send me a new drawing. ---

I can’t believe how many times I have drawn the wrong word. ---

It’s getting buggier. Twice in the past few days I’ve had letters “disappear” from the game board and had to pass. I’m gonna be \*\*\*pissed \*\*\*if I lose one of my 200+ streaks because of a damn glitch ! I’ve also fallen victim to the “draw one word, then watch the person guess ANOTHER word with your drawing” like **Gangster Octopus** ---

So far so good with those, but their new words contain WAY too many pop culture references! If you are not the best drawer, how can you hope to draw a person in a way that anyone would recognize them? Every once in a while I come to a very basic word that I have never seen before, and that’s fun, but for the most part I find myself sticking with the same old words since the new ones are far too difficult to convey in a drawing (of my ability!). But–no evidence of glitches here. I lost a lot of games during my long absence but am enjoying reconnecting with the ones I still have. ---

I have a tablet now, so I’m going to pick up my games again. Seems like drawing would be a lot more fun/less frustrating on a tab. Not sure if I have to re-create another ID because it’s an android device or if I can use the same one. We’ll see. ---

Anybody else find since they’ve added a more words you either get 3 difficult words, or 2 difficult works and a 1-coin stupidly easy one? ---

I just got a new phone and I’m not going to download Draw Something this time. I’m really bored with it. Sorry if I have games going with any of you. ---

Not sure if I have to re-create another ID because it’s an android device or if I can use the same one. We’ll see. I think you should just be able to log in with your user / password and pick up from there. HIGHLY recommend getting a stylus (a cheap one from Amazon !! dont spend 20 bucks at Best Buy) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-playing-draw-something/616612.md?page=12)
