To anyone still playing Bigrams: 😀
The Reveal button has been replaced with a Hint button. If you tap the Hint button twice, one or more purple boxes will be highlighted; one of the undiscovered solution words can be formed by tapping these highlighted boxes.

Hate to say this, but the EU should impose harsh economic sanctions on the US if Trump goes forward with this (ideally targeting the red states that overwhelmingly voted for Trump). Just like the West did to Russia when they invaded the Ukraine.
