Predictive typing disappeared

Can anybody help? On my android tablet, predictive texting works on any typing application, and it always did on SW.

Suddenly, it stopped, but only on SW. I can't find a way to switch it on again. Annoying.

Grateful for any suggestions to bring it back. Thanks

I would love to know how you turned it off. It drives me crazy on my phone. I want to type the words I choose not the ones the program thinks I should.
Sorry I am a tech luddite and have no clue how to fix such things. I have had success with turning things off and rebooting when things get "wonky".

@bowman81 I agree absolutely. But once you've decided to type "disappointing", for example, you just have to type "disa" and the full word will appear in the suggestion bar, and you can choose it. Or, type "Im" and it will suggest "I'm", so you don't have to hunt for the apostrophe. It has its uses

Pro’s and con’s to everything. Sometimes I like it because it helps me to check my spelling but other times when you want to use words that are not real words it can get annoying.@WalterF
