Hi! I see you’re having trouble with the Animals feature being unavailable, missing out on the weekend tournament, and the screen going black after the first game in Wordscapes on your Android device. Let’s work through this together.

First, just to clarify:
- Does the screen go black every time you start the weekend tournament or only after the first game?
- Have you tried restarting the app or your device already?

In the meantime, here are some step-by-step steps that often resolve these symptoms:

1. Close and Restart the App Properly
On Android 10, tap the square button to open recent apps, then swipe up on Wordscapes to force close it. Reopen the app and check if the black screen issue persists during the tournament. This simple step resets the app state and can fix glitches.1

2. Clear App Cache
Go to Settings > Apps > Wordscapes > Storage > Clear Cache. This won’t delete your progress but will remove temporary files that might cause crashes or black screens.2

3. Update the Game
Check Google Play Store for any updates. The Wordscapes team has fixed Animal activity issues and black screen bugs in recent updates (versions 3.2.13 to 3.2.16).3 5

4. Restart Your Device
Sometimes a fresh reboot clears up system-level glitches.

5. Check Network Connection
Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Weak or intermittent connections can cause tournament data not to load properly.

If after trying these steps, the black screen continues after the first game and Animals remain unavailable in the weekend tournament, let me know. We might explore advanced fixes like reinstalling the app or checking for device-specific issues.

Are you able to try these out now? I’m here to guide you through any step if you want.
