Like most everyone else who has found their way here, I just upgraded phones. Back in June of 2021 when I bought my previous phone, the Swype servers were still half-functional. After about three days of random trying, I was able to upgrade the US English dictionary and sync my custom words. Alas, they seem to have fully killed it now. Swype still alerts me to a new version of the US English dictionary but never figures out how to download it. The sync function is completely busted. I was able to migrate my custom dictionary, though! The process is a little convoluted and semi-manual but doable. Take pictures on your new phone of the word list on your old phone. Then, open up Google Lens and copy the text from one image and paste into something like an empty email. Select all, hit the swype button, and add to dictionary. Rinse/repeat for each image you took of your word list.
