Words with Friends updated. Poor update. How do I reload the original app.

New update forced by app, from original WWF to WWF2. New update deleted 5 years of history in game, including player contacts, so can't use. How do I roll back to original WWF? App store reviews verify this problem.

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 17

This is an Apple issue. Sorry, I wasn't specific enough in my description. This is an Apple Store problem. Apple gives us control over whether we automatically update programs/apps/etc. or we decide to update. The original WWF app is still in the App Store. Downloading it gives a locked screen directing an update to the WWF2 app. Device is frozen with no exit available except a hard reboot. This must violate app store policies. If not, a developer could have apps available in the store that behave the same way but direct the user to a totally different app or webpage or whatever. Unfortunately I do not know how to report this to Apple or the app store. WWF support not helpful.
