No real loss, except for Shuffled Row, which is probably my favorite word game ever and has recently snared my wife and 8 year old daughter as well.
Does anyone know if there's a version of this available for any other device? Or a clone that basically works the same way?
I've looked with no luck. I know there are plenty of anagram games out there. But I haven't found any that load the letters linearly and keep the clock ticking. It's a great game and we really will miss it if we cannot find a good replacement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The only Kindles that support active content are PW2 or older.
And PW2 may not support it for very much longer (When, if ever, 5.9.2 is released for the PW2, then it will be gone).
Your choices seem to be:
1) Replace the battery in your PW1
2) Buy a refurbished PW1 (I.E: Let someone else replace the battery)
or
3) Purchase a different brand of e-book reader / game player
or
4) Find someone that has written an equivalent in GTK+ (which Kindles still support) and jail break your newer model Kindle.
(But you had better hurry - Amazon/Lab126 is very quickly slamming the door to any third party, after-market add-ins (us). )
