Saying Goodbye to Syllacrostic

[AARPTeri]

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!

Sorry I do not agree with this change.  I am one of those who enjoyed Syllacrostic.  Please bring it back.  Maybe a poll of users would help decide which game/games you remove in the future?

[msamolyk1]

That's right.  Ask the users which games to remove.

 Please bring back Syllacrostic.  There are multiple traditional style crosswords on the site.  Surely one of those could have been removed to keep Syllacrostic for those of us who enjoy something a little different.

Thanks so much for sharing how much you’ve enjoyed this game over the years — it’s great to hear it’s been such a favorite! While this particular game won’t be returning, we truly appreciate your enthusiasm and feedback. We hope you’ll discover some new favorites among the other games available, and we’ll definitely keep your passion in mind as we plan future updates.

Thanks for nothing.

If the reason for removing it was lack of players, it's probably because it was NEVER promoted on the starting page like some of the others that are over promoted. 

FYI to the Game community.  Per AI, as inaccurate as that has been but worth a shot:

You can play the word game Syllacrostic for free online at sites like Arkadium and HSN Arcade. The game was also developed by a user who shared it on Reddit, and the original creator has moved to a new version on Reddit. 

• Arkadium: Offers a free online version of the game, Arkadium.
• HSN Arcade: Features a free online game of Syllacrostic, HSN Arcade.
• Reddit: The creator of the game shared it on Reddit and has moved the game to a new community, r/syllo on Reddit.

As of 11/23 you cannot find the old Syllacrostic on Arkadium, HSN Arcade, or Reddit. You can find the new, vastly inferior, version on Reddit, but it has neither the charm or the breadth of the old version.

Hi  

Thank you for your post but I did not find Syllacrostic on HSN or Arkadium.  I do not use Reddit.

I'm REALLY unhappy about the loss of Syllacrostic! 😞💔

I'm sure there were other games that could have been removed to 'make room' for whatever was needed to be added.

I don't use Reddit, so I'm out of luck. 😥

[dd76072608]

Absolutely agree, bring it back!

That’s awful.  I loved playing Syllacrostic.  I never made the leader board but it was a good mental challenge.
