My prologue for secret word garden is at 100% done but no key to get to chapter 1. what do i do?
Same problem. I can’t find an answer. Where is the key?
You need to keep playing the garden you’re currently and you’ll eventually get a key.
well i am at level 18 right now it should of given me a key right. How many levels for each chapter?
I said i was at 100% done and also my see bucket is locked how do i unlock it.
okay second time i am now at level 19 and no key and my last pot is locked and I am at 100% finished of the prologue. I have been playing for the last month on this. I have no story line either.
I can see there is a known issue where members are at 100% and have not received a key yet. The only advice I am seeing for that is to keep playing.
When you open your Story Book and click on the right arrow, does it show a lock symbol? or a Return or View button?
I see a RETURN and one of my seed buckets is locked still. I dont know how to unlock it. I am at level 20. I think i have spelled enough words. Also my story line is not displaying just the music plays.
