Backend server not working causing long delays in getting score or not getting score at all!

You can reach all the Games of the Day, by clicking on the links in the Leaderboard. Also, for more games...
Click on the New Game button (on the left, under the Green Felt logo), of any game. Then click on the High Scores button to see if you've played it before. Keep doing this until you get a game you don't have a score on, because you haven't played it. Or just click it five or six times, you should get a game you haven't played, by then.
Alternately, click on the yellow game number of any game. (To the right of Auto Finish.) You can enter any number from 1 to 1,000,000,000, then click Enter (on your keyboard) to play that game.
The back end server, that runs this website, and calculates and stores the scores, needs to be repaired or replaced. It's not big enough to handle all the activity, all the people, and all the games being played, on this site, day after day. David and Jim, the owners of this site, are working on this, but it's taking time, effort, and expense, to either repair or replace it. https://www.reference.com/technology/back-end-server-d4d0f1b851cd7424
"Yes. We are working on it. The current status is we're waiting on a disk to arrive so that we can move the database to a faster machine. Our database is so big that it takes almost a day to replicate the data. It's also so big that pricing for having someone else host it for us is unacceptably high. So we have to build everything ourselves and it's slow going." -David, March 27
