Something wrong with SumWord? Write to us and a person will answer.

SumWord is a daily word and number puzzle. Every letter carries a value and you find real words that add up to the day’s target exactly. If something is wrong, this page is where to start.

Replies within two working days Letters are worth A=1 to Z=26. Hit the day’s target exactly.

The fastest way to get help is to email support@oakferry.com. Tell us your device, your iOS version, and what you expected to happen. There is no ticket system and no bot — the mail reaches a person.

01Where did my streak go?

Your streak, your lifetime hits and today’s guesses live only on your device, so removing the app takes them with it. There is no account behind them and no server copy, which also means we cannot restore them. Restoring a device from an iCloud backup that included the app brings them back; reinstalling from the App Store does not.

02I finished a puzzle but the leaderboard is empty.

Leaderboards need you to be signed in to Game Center on the device. Open Settings, tap Game Center, and check you are signed in — the trophy button only appears in the game once you are. If you finished a round while offline, the score is held and sent the next time you complete a puzzle or sign in.

03A word I know was rejected.

The game accepts 79,938 words, but no list holds every word anyone knows. Proper nouns, hyphenated words and abbreviations are deliberately out. If an ordinary word was refused, send it to us — genuine gaps get fixed.

04Today’s target feels impossible.

Every target has at least 35 solutions and most have well over two hundred, so there is always a way in. A handful of targets are deliberately hard: their answers are all long words with nothing short to fall back on. You only need one exact hit to keep a streak alive — three earns the stars.

05The puzzle number looks wrong.

Puzzle #1 is 2 September 2026 and the day rolls over at midnight UTC, not at your local midnight. Depending on your timezone the new puzzle can arrive in the middle of your afternoon or your evening.

06Reporting something we should fix

Bug reports are welcome and genuinely get read. The useful ones say what you did, what happened, and what you expected instead. A screenshot helps more than a description of a screenshot.

If the game crashed, we have no crash reporting of any kind — no telemetry, no analytics, nothing that phones home. That is deliberate, and it means we only learn about a crash if you tell us.
