Just the game or the phone as a whole? My guess is you have a hardware failure but there are a few things you can try if it's software such as resetting your phone or doing a restore. To reset press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons for about 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo reappears. To restore do a backup before proceeding:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

    When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS7, I lost all my app icons. Where did they go? Interestingly they are still listed in notifications and I could play words with friends when I got a message on the home screen that it was my turn (but still no icon)

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

  • My brand new iPad 2 screen just flickered form the game I was playing to black several times very quickly?

    I just bought an iPad 2 it's only about 5days old and the screen j flickered to black and back to the game I was playing several times very quickly. I haven't got any apps or watched anything that should cause a virus and I am worried about it any ideas?

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

  • My new iPad had a defect, but I just dropped it and there's a crack on the screen. What to do?

    Okay so I pre ordered the new iPad in white with 4G and it arrived on the 19th. It looked fine, but I've been having issues with the home button. Also, it frequently turns off by itself when I'm in the middle of doing something. I'm having trouble with syncing my apps onto it too, but I don't know if that's because of a problem with the device.
    I haven't had time to go to the store (it's pretty far) to get it looked at this week, so today morning I made an appointment for this Wednesday. Not long after, which is just a few minutes ago, I was at my desk and had my iPad on my lap. When I reached over to get something, it slid off and dropped to the floor. I would have completely gone insane at the fact that it fell, but I wasn't worried at all because the drop was only a couple inches higher than a foot from the floor. Also, when I picked it up the screen was face up. I immediately investigated the back for any scratches just in case, but not a single mark. I was so relieved but right when I flip it back over I see several cracks on the upper right corner of it (it's white so the cracks aren't clearly visible at some angles). I'm so surprised that it didn't survive the short fall.
    I am aware that Apple's limited warranty doesn't cover accidental damage... I was planning on getting Apple Care when I went to the store on Wednesday.
    From previous experiences, I am almost positive that the defect before this incident would have been covered by the limited warranty..
    But I'm assuming I'll have to pay for a replacement... but this is so upsetting because I've been waiting five months for this third generation to be released and all this happens before a week of being an iPad owner :/
    I was wondering if there are any chances of me getting this replaced without having to pay what I originally didn't have to ?
    Honestly, if I was a worker, I wouldn't believe this situation myself.

    You're right, it would have been covered under warranty. But because of the user damage, chances are there's a 200-something dollar fee . If you explain to them that it had a defect previously, they might replace it for you at no charge. **MIGHT**. But they would have to believe that it had a defect previously.

  • TS3274 words w/friends has frozen up and displays a white screen.

    words with friends froze up after a play and displays a white screen.  Other apps working ok.

    See if you can force quit the app. Double tap the home button. Flick sideways if needed to get the preview up on your screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen then single tap the home button to exit the mode. Then try your app again.
