Thank you so much for being part our community at AARP Games! We wanted to let you know we are retiring one of our games to help make room for some exciting new ones.

Syllacrostic is no longer available to play.

If you’re looking for a new favorite, keep an eye on the AARP Games page, where we announce our frequent new game launches. (We bet you’ll love some of our latest games: the classic card game Gin Rummy,or Hex Puzzle Adventure!)

Thank you again for keeping play in your life with AARP Games. We’ll see you on the leaderboard!

NO! PLEASE reconsider. Syllacrostic was my very favorite. Over the years I've been using this site, this was a relatively new game -- why kill it rather than some older, more tired games? "Making room" for other games isn't a reasonable excuse -- this is not a closet full of boxed games. It's digital -- there's room!

Wow! I am not understanding of this decision to remove Syllacrostic from AARP Games. It is wrong to take away a game that sparked and increased brain activity to seniors who like a game with enough challenge and variety of words to make it fun and engaging. For me and many others this was a very welcoming and enjoyable word game. The countless home users should have been given a voice and been heard how this would have affected them. This never should have been solely a "business" decision.

What was this decision actually based on?
