Will I lose games if I reinstall Words With Friends?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

If you have connected your game to your Facebook account, you don’t have to worry about losing your progress when you reinstall Words With Friends. Your game data is usually saved on the server, linked to your Facebook account, so when you reinstall the game and log in with your Facebook credentials, your progress should be restored.

I have personally experienced this situation when I had to reinstall Words With Friends on my phone. I had connected the game to my Facebook account, and when I logged back in after reinstalling, all my previous games, friends, and progress were still there. It was a relief to know that I didn’t have to start from scratch.

However, it is important to note that if you haven’t connected your game to your Facebook account or any other account for backup, reinstalling may result in losing your progress. In such cases, the game data is stored locally on your device, and reinstalling the game can lead to a loss of all your game data.

To avoid losing your progress, I highly recommend connecting your Words With Friends game to your Facebook account or any other available backup option. This ensures that your game data is securely stored and can be easily restored if needed.

In addition to connecting to Facebook, Words With Friends also offers other backup options such as connecting to your Google account or using your email address. These options provide an extra layer of security for your game data and give you peace of mind knowing that your progress won’t be lost even if you reinstall the game or switch devices.

To summarize, if you have connected your Words With Friends game to your Facebook account or any other backup option, you should be able to reinstall the game without losing your progress. However, if you haven’t connected to any backup option, reinstalling the game may result in a loss of all your game data. Therefore, it is highly recommended to connect your game to a backup option to ensure the safety of your progress.
