freezing during game?

[silk]

every so often my screen will freeze, and i cannot enter letters. then it will unfreeze and the timer will jump ahead however many seconds. i don't know if it's on my end or not. wondering if anyone else has the same issue.

Yes, I have been having the same issue (on a Mac, using Sequoia 15.0, and Safari).

I did try rebooting, and I think that's helped.

Actually, I think I withdraw my comment. I was playing the NYT Spelling Bee this morning and that screen froze, at which point I realized I was mixing up my word games. (After all, you can never have too many of those!) I haven't had a problem with Wordtwist.

Now for a different meaning for the original post. I am not quite freezing; it's noon and still -6F outside, but at least there's a nice stiff wind behind it. But in the place where my computer lives, it's 55F inside. I'm dressed warmly enough not to feel very cold, but my fingers are a little stiff and it's harder than usual to type fast. Those of you playing in Australia can now laugh. And those living in New Orleans can go out and shovel some snow.

my fingers are a little stiff and it's harder than usual to type fast.

I sympathize. My typing speed goes way down when my fingers are cold, and it doesn't take much for that to happen. (But I thank my lucky stars that I live in Hawai'i now, so I'm pretty insulated from truly cold weather.)

I have the same problem with the screen freezing mid-game on my phone while also using a safari browser. I often times have to open a different app momentarily and reopen safari and it quickly starts working. This has been going on for over a year for me.

Hmm . . . I wonder what RussDNails wrote that wasn't posted here. I guess he took umbrage with the sarcasm of bwt1213.

Nothing important I just saw his post right before I had to walk across the parking garage after my shift at the hospital where I work. Air temp was -14F and wind chill below -50. I’ve seen worse but not by much. Literal torture being out for even a brief moment with the wind. Plus I was on the roof of the garage—for whatever reason that seems to amplify the wind force…..deleted the post because I didn’t want to hijack it from the original poster’s intent……

Thanks for the explanation.
