Server issues tonight

September 27, 2011

We were experiencing some server issues today that may have affected the ability to login to Wordfeud for some of our users. If you’re being asked to enter your password when opening Wordfeud, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem:

1) If you’ve never changed your password from the Wordfeud settings, the easiest fix is to simply reinstall Wordfeud. Your current games and friend list will remain intact as long as you login with the same email address or username after reinstalling. If you’ve purchased Wordfeud earlier, make sure to go into the Wordfeud settings and tap “Restore Previous Purchase” (if using an iPhone), or download the paid version from the Android Market (if using an Android phone).

2) If the above doesn’t help, go to the password reset page and follow the instructions to reset your password.

3) Finally, if all else fails, please send an email to support@wordfeud.com with “Wordfeud password help” in the subject line. Make sure to include your username in the email.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and we will do what we can to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

  1. Another simple solution (for Android) is to go to settings > apps. Click on Wordfeud and select ‘erase data’. Then startup Wordfeud and enter your username.

      Hi Wordfeud technicians, This is probably not the right place to wonder about the following: some of the words i try to play and who are definitively in a common dutch dictionary, wordfeud does not allow: the whole word ‘bespringen’ and the word ‘fix’ , i lost my game because of it. Is there some group within wordfeud who follow up on these matters? Thanks for answering. Marjoleine

      • Ze gebruiken een open source woordenboek waar inderdaad van alles mist. Daar is niks axn te doen tenzij je die woorden zelf toevoegt aan dat woordenboek. Evenvergeten welke het is helaas.

      • Minefranky permalink

        De woorden die niet herkend worden zijn thema’s tangens. maar ook afkortingen als ns wordt niet gekend, als ook iq wordt niet gekend.

    I’ve followed your advice and installed Worfeud again because of the login failure messages. But now I’m getting ads again. I’ve payed to get rid of those ads, but after installing again the ads are back. How can I solve this?

    • @Esther: go into the Wordfeud settings (tap the cogwheel button), and then tap “Restore Previous Purchase”.

      • Esther permalink

        Thank you!!!! It works 🙂

      • Ellen permalink

        I can’t use the cogwheel button. The screen keeps trying to log in. Asking for password. Doesn’t react. I have the paid version. What to do?

    How do I do to “to simply reinstall Wordfeud”?

    • Peter permalink

      I have an iPhone

    • @Peter: press and hold your finger on the Wordfeud icon until it starts shaking. Then tap the X to uninstall. Afterwards, open the App Store and search for Wordfeud to reinstall.

      • Peter permalink

        But I can’t use my previous e-mail-address or username? How to do?

    How about a new update. We’ve all been waiting patiently, and now it seems that’s just the ticket for you (wordfeud) to get all this connection error nonsense straightened out.

    Thanks guys.

  9. I cannot make standard words. I have tried unistalling, then reinstalling. I have purchased the game installed that, and I can still not make standard words that I have used hundreds of times.

    Why is my time length not keeping track of time between me and other players moves?

  11. Conny W permalink

    I play on both iPhone and iPad and it’s very annoying the game doesn’t keep track of my chats when I change device. So when I switch to iPad after playing on my iPhone all day then I get all these “red bubbles” though I’ve already have read then. Otherwise love the game!! //C

  12. Cobalt permalink

    Okay…so let me get this right. I play a random game…I get matched with an opponent with a penis for their avatar, it’s their turn, so I can’t resign/remove the game? I have to let it sit at the top of my game queue?

  13. Jan permalink

    why does wordfeud owners allow nude picturres posted by users.
    “VEGAS RULES” is posting his manhood on the game. He brags that women like seeing his manhood. I would like for the devlopers to report this pervert before I get the police involved.
    Many kids play this game and I only have seen one perverted player.
