I appear to be a Scrabble addict--it's driving me nuts that I can't play right now.

I've been playing it for a long time on my Kindle, so I'm pretty comfortable with how the 5-way navigation works on the board.

But last night, it stopped working correctly. All it'll let me do is make horizontal words, not vertical ones.

Any ideas on what's wrong/how to fix it?

I can't say I know what's wrong with it, but when something gets "stuck" like that, I sometimes find I can fix it by deleting it and then redownloading it. Worth a try, anyway.

That's worth a try--and I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks!

Assuming the 5-way works okay in all other contexts, re-downloading sounds like a reasonable thing to try. I might try doing a Restart first, though, just in case that clears things up for some reason (Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Restart).

Restarting worked! Boo-yah! Thanks so much, NogDog!

w00t!

PS: I generally play at least one game of Scrabble daily on my Kindle.

Me, too! Which was why I was losing my mind . . .

Happy camper now!

A simple restart fixes many odd glitches on a Kindle, glad it worked on yours.
