Iâve been playing Words with Friends and am just starting a game with someone who I just realized is a gal I donât want to play games with. We have kind of a history. Sheâs sly, though, not having a real name associated with her Words with Friends account, so it was only a mutual friend who told me. Now I want to resign the game. How do I do that on my iPhone?
This sounds very complicated, somehow, with lots of drama and confusion. On the one hand, Iâm tempted to say that perhaps playing a game together could be the bridge that lets you two start to resurrect your friendship, but then again, perhaps itâs not my place to be the adjucator or mediator but rather simply answer your question. đ
Okay, okay. I also have a teen daughter, so I am all too familiar with the complexity and confusion of interpersonal relationships, not to mention a few decades of my own experience on this planet too. Still, still, whatever. Letâs stay focused.
I actually had a similar situation arise with someone wanting to play Words with Friends with me â I typically have 3-4 games running at a time â and I didnât know who she was but accepted the challenge and began our game. Then my daughter told me sheâs a friend of hers and, well, I believe that itâs healthy for us parents to have a separation between our social lives and theirs so I decided to resign the game.
Hereâs how I did it from my iPhone 4s.
First off, when you start up Words with Friends, you see the usual game status:
In my case, the account âDimples9680â was my daughterâs friend, so thatâs the game I wanted to resign. To do that, I needed to pick the gameâŠ
As you can see, weâd just barely started the game and I had a whopping five points. Booyah! It used to be that the âresignâ button was along the buttons on the bottom of the screen, but I imagine too many people accidentally tapped it so they moved it into a secondary menu accessed by tapping on âmoreâ with the big up arrow. When I tap on it another set of buttons appears:
You can see the one I need to tap, itâs leftmost with a little white flag: âresignâ. When I tap on it:
Yup, I am sure I want to resign. I tap on âYesââŠ
Now Words with Friends is updating the central game database and when itâs done â it only takes a few seconds â itâll show her as winning the match:
I donât like the fact that Iâm listed as losing the game, but so be it. Thatâs how you resign a game from on your iPhone (and the user interface is pretty darn similar on the iPad or even Android systems, heck, even the Kindle Fire version of Words with Friends has the same basic set of buttons). Hope that helps you out and good luck with your ex-friend!
If you resign from a specific game, itâs only that game youâre resigning from. No worries!
Whenever I am playing with a gentleman that starts asking personal questions, I tell him that I am only there for the game. All of a sudden, they are gone. How do they leave the game without resigning? There name does not show they have resigned. Iâve searched everywhere for an answer to this. Thanks!!
First off, guys are dorks. Sorry you have to deal with that. My suspicion is that they just disconnect from the Internet or quit the app. Perhaps you can ask a friend to try it and see what happens?
When I âresignâ from WWF, does it just resign you from the person who is showing on the screen? In other words, the other people I play with wonât be affected, will they? I donât want to resign from everyone!
I try to resign game but the resign icon is gray and want let me resign
I was almost finished with a game, I hit send when it hung up, only showing the spinning sending move icon stays there. Canât get rideo of it or do anything. Itâs locked up. Any suggestions.
My brother, who is new to game) & me were playing & a notice came up on both ipad/android that he resigned. He asked me what happened to the game as he didnât resign. Why did this happen?
Zynga sometimes has hiccups on the backend, unfortunately, so that might well be what happened with your brotherâs game. đ
