What would cause the online Games to be so slow when loading and when I play?  I use Xfinity for internet.  This started about 6 months ago.

Try switching to an ad free experience like trysolitaire.com. They seem to have some classics in full screen.

Have you contacted your provider?  

 

The most common causes for lagging in games are:

  • Not enough internet bandwidth
  • Problems with internet speed
  • Bad internet connection type
  • Problems with wireless internet
  • Overworked GPU (graphics processing unit)

We are not currently having an issue with our games loading.

No, it's AARP site and app. Everything else works fine.

Had a prob with wordwipe yesterday, when I swiped a word it lagged in disappearing off of the screen.  I signed out and back in, and that seemed to resolve whatever it was that was going on.  Using app on iPad

Same problem here. Just in the past couple of months. The game kept freezing during the ad at the beginning. I cleared my Safari cache, and it’s no longer freezing but it’s very slow with a lag during the game. I never finish a game before the time runs out now.

Several times playing the Daily Crossword, my desktop has completely frozen - no clicks on anything work. I just have to wait it out about 5 minutes. Doesn't happen with the Mini Crossword, Bridge or the Mahjongg games I play.
