I should be okay now that I've tied it to my Facebook account. I was originally playing it on my Windows Phone, but that apparently doesn't have the capacity to connect to Facebook, so after the wipe, I switched to my Android tablet to continue. Progressing faster this time, but it sucks to know that I was getting to Tier 5 on my WP before I lost it.
There are actually quite a few odd differences between the WP version and the Android version. Very odd.
