100% agree! The crazy part is that it would take SO LITTLE effort to just write more specific instructions! 

I really don't think it is too much to ask that the programming and labeling of challenges be done by (or even just verified by) a human who understands how the game works and what the challenge is programmed to check for. 

The lack of communication and optimization is appalling. Any gains we see are wiped away by the serious and egregious issues of lag, non-responsive games and other things. They don't appear to really care that we are struggling. 

jetmyx​ Hello again! Sorry to hear the daily challenge is giving you a bit of trouble and thank you for taking the time to provide the screenshot. I double checked the challenge and other users' comments in chat, and it is tracking as designed. 

The Challenge is just "Find 9 Three Letter Words", there was nothing I had to do extra—just play as usual. However, I did see something in your screenshot that caught my eye.

I can not speak for jetmyx​ , but to me, the problem is not that the challenge is NOT working , it is that it is unclear as the what actually counts towards the challenge. The badge just says "Find 9 Three Letter Words" but it does not specify that only certain words count. It would seem to be less confusing and more accurate to describe it as "Find 9 Three Letter Words in a puzzle or crossword".  Better yet - add the caveat "Does not include bonus words."

Looking at this screen it seems that I should have at least 8 three-letter words.

Plus 2 three-letter words in the puzzle.

But it only shows a total of 2 three letter-words towards to goal.

There is no reason that people should have to GUESS what the challenge includes or does not include - only able to find the solution by searching the forums or possibly through trial and error.

It is not just this challenge - it is MANY of them that fail to specify exactly what counts towards the goal.

Yes. Like that. :)
