When moving the mouse over a hot square (such as double letter), there is a popup bubble telling me what that means. By now I know all of them and don’t need those bubbles and they get in my way. Any way to turn them off?

Thanks.

Is this on mobile or facebook? And what version?

For the record, I play quite a bit of WWF and I’ve never seen the popups of which you speak.

EDIT: Actually, it must be facebook – the word “mouse” should’ve been a tipoff. Sorry, can’t help you with that version.
