Anagrams has many problems
The game does not take all available words, kicks me out or Pogo loses connection. Have not been able to complete a games without being kicked out and it rejects obvious words. I see many other play...

EA Staff (Retired)Hey there, @Dntse22.
Regarding it not taking all available words, that is by design. Unlike the similar game Word Whomp, Anagrams is like a word search puzzle in terms of where there are specific words to find and words outside of the list don't count. I apologize for any confusion there.
As for losing connection, that should not happen, and I'll be happy to help you out there. To start, please let me know a little more about your computer. Could you please cut / paste (or screenshot) your full results from the Pogo Compatibility Tool? As well, could you let me know how much system RAM you have on your PC/Mac?
I'll be happy to take a look as to why the game isn't running smoothly for you.

In regards to your comment - Regarding it not taking all available words, that is by design. - I played this game once, and word games are my forte. However, every legitimate word I typed was not accepted. That's just wrong. I found that too frustrating, and I will not play it again. Really dumb, in my opinion, to have a game called Anagrams that doesn't count all available words Waste of my time!.
I love word games but this is a total failure. When you enter legitimate words, they should be included in the game. This is the worst word game I have ever played. This is the English language and it should make sense.
That would be fine if it was a common word but anagrams seems to come up with words that make little sense. As an example the word "curler" is the original and the words "ulcer" or "clue" are not acknowledged while the non-word "eclu" needs to be entered to actually complete the game. Extremely frustrating to have to guess as to what spelling may be required when every day words are dismissed and you need to use oddball, archaic, foreign, or enter a made up word the developer thinks is an actual word. Real quick way to get people to refuse to play what could be a good game when you are forced to try reading the mind of the developer for the actual word list.
You are supposed to buy gems and use them to solve words you cannot get. Yes, it is frustrating but I don't care anymore, I just solve the words I can and move on just for the pleasure of it. Sometimes my score is high and sometimes not. Hope this helps. Expectations are the key to a fun game or not.
- @EA_Arrenai I have played anagram games before and usually love them but this is terrible. Most people that enjoy playing games with words, expect them to make sense.
