Anyone know why this has been pulled?,got plenty of play in places i frequent and was usually good for a free beer or three :D
As its been around a long time in various guises,do you think it will return?.This was one of the rare games i used to see people play regular so seems strange to remove it.Current game sets(on most platforms)seem a pile of the proverbial,making regular players who play for a bit of fun hopefully covering the round as a bonus think whats the point?,no fun in it when after battling a dull game to reach the end and "win" 50p!!.
Apologies for rant,but its a shame to watch it all go rapidly downhill :(

No, that's a commonly held misconception.

QM's gonna hate this.

i overheard a couple of fellas in the pub talking about Word Soup, they seemed to agree that it had been pulled because an app could beat it. clearly hooey because of the speed of thought needed to adapt to moving tiles.

Word Soup is not something in my stream of consciousness these days. Please stop attempting to bring it back onto the news agenda with fabricated tales.

Oohhh! CONSCIOUSNESS 758 Pts!

I'd be amazed if anyone could give the Bully no-questions the treatment when it is wound up on 501,

That's Hex. I'd say it's off about 30-40% of ones around my way.

Also, why does plod dissapear even if u put £2 in and get a quid!!!

Is that an actual app, or just people who have got damned good at it (or at least better at it than manufacturers think they should be allowed to be)?

It's an app yes. It comes with several categories and allows u 2 buy more. There are quite a few but obviously every single answer isn't on there. With good knowledge and this app I guess u could get ahead eventually in small raises rather than potting it every time.

The game has definately come off a lot of GW machines, but whether it's down to the above I couldn't say for certain.

Given how little it takes to push any given game off a Paragon, who knows?
