Janet, If Direct Touch is not on when playing 7 Little Words the game will not work at all. No, an iPhone Se 20 does not have screen recognition, which in this case is a good thing, being having screen recognition on would make the game unplayable. I can't recall- Did I send you a list of gestures used to play 7 Little words? If not, let me know & I'll send them to you. It may be best to delete the game & redownload so that the proper settings are in place when you open the app.
