Watching the short videos/ads one can accumulate coins. There’s a new video/ad for Progressive Insurance I cannot get past. Anyone know how to do so?

It’s likely just a glitched ad on the side of the ad provider (which means it’s probably not specific to Words With Friends). I’ve run into this kind of issue with ads on various games from time to time. Assuming you’re playing on your phone or tablet, reboot your device, and that should probably do the trick.

Thx for the suggestion. Unfortunately I’ve tried it, but to no avail.

I’ve edited the title to be more clear.
