Your thinking is very scary.
Someone once thought I was a bit.
In fact, there are times I think accounts like yours and @taskmaster4450 are bots but when I see the posts they lol so real than the replies too.
I must say, you are very very observant.
I wouldn't have noticed the profile change in words with friends.
But a lot of things online should actually not be taken hook, line and sinker.
Anyways, I envy your thought process
There is so much deception online, that even if you notice one or two, you miss 20 or 30 others! It is crazy. Every click on mainstream social media has a team of behavioral economists behind it, predicting what you will do.
