Playing Alphabetty on a tablet, can't "click and drag"!

I keep seeing the same question being answered in the same way, but it doesn't seem to work for me - I can't link letters, and all the answers say click with your mouse and then drag across the letters.  I'm playing via Facebook on a tablet, I don't have a mouse, and when I try dragging it just drags the whole page across instead of selecting any letters.  It did work one time I played and I managed a few levels, but now it's not working again.  I have no idea why it worked that one time, I don't know what I did differently!

Anyone have any ideas?

How would you normally highlight something on a tablet? (I don't own one so don't know)...Could you hold down the 'shift' key while choosing the letters?....Otherwise I guess you'll have to wait for the mobile app.

I would normally just touch the first letter then swipe across the ones I wanted, similar to swapping candies/gems etc. But when I try that it just moves the whole page around. It's so frustrating because it did work that one time and I don't know why!
