It's hard to say goodbye.

I have had the word puzzle game 4 pics 1 word on my phone for two years now. I am on level 2863 and I have 3880 coins in my bank. It has accompanied me through countless trying times (sleepless nights, boring flights) and my brain has stayed sharp (so far) by working out what the word is from a set of letters given below the pictures. It has been a love and hate relationship between us. I have threatened to delete it a dozen times, especially when the puzzle is too difficult. But we remained strong. Until now. I have to give it up because I have a new phone. Should I decide to continue playing 4 pics 1 word, it means I have to download it again and start from the very beginning. I can’t do that. If only I could keep the data even if I switched phones. But we just can’t have it all. Goodbye, my friend. Until we meet again.

I did say goodbye to Sudoku for about a year and a half. Thought I got over that game. Lately, I got hooked again. Some relationships are not meant to end...

@sol_cee for me sudoku is more about patterns.

Are you keeping your old phone? Can you keep it just to continue playing the game? It sounds my sort of game.

I’m going to give my old phone to someone who doesn’t play word puzzle games. Sigh..

@sol_cee What a shame - and a waste of a great score.

I had that installed in my phone before, but I deleted it. I didn't know that it has levels too. Maybe I should try that. What I always install are jewel games. Once I have done all the levels of a jewel game , I will uninstall the old and install another new one. I am a bit addicted to it.

It is indeed hard to say goodbye to a friend. You can start over again. This time you are already a master of the game.

It sucks when that game doesn't allow you to keep your account when changing phone. I have smurfs on mine and I change phone every year and I still keep the same account without having to go back to downloading that again and start from the beginning.

This is the problem with the game we play on phones. I think you have to give up.

I deleted mine a long time ago. Yes, it is true. A love and hate relationship. A new phone? For sure it's an iPhone X.

I play the game when I’m whiling away time. Like waiting in a long line. Or on the train. Wasn’t it exciting enough for you?

@sol_cee I started playing when most of my family and friends stopped, so I should have started earlier, but I was working so many hours at the time. My daughter is playing again so maybe I'll pick it back up.

That's where games that require a password and sign-in come in handy. 'Cause then you can play them on any device. I like to play Word Cookies. It's been accidentally uninstalled a couple of times on my phone. sigh. I haven't gotten to such a high level as you with your puzzle game, though, so it wasn't too frustrating to start over.

Oh, very interesting. This is strange, right?We just say goodbye to many things but we come after that without spending lot of time. In my life, that has happened many times.
