Where's the Swype keyboard on the Moto G5?

[Android Central Question]

I can't find it anywhere in the settings.

Google's GBoard will do swipe typing. The actual Swype keyboard has been removed from the Play Store as Dragon (the company that bought Swype) has sadly decided to stop development. If you don't have the keyboard installed, you won't be able to get it. I loved the Swype keyboard but I have been happy with GBoard.

I'm pretty sure the Moto G5 came with the GBoard keyboard as the default, so it should be swype enabled right from the get go

I've been using GBoard for the last couple months after having used Swype for years.

As of today, I'm heading back to Swype for good (or as long as I can).

GBoard isn't nearly as smart as Swype. If there's a way to add to its vocabulary, it isn't nearly as easy or transparent.

Swype has its quirks, which is why I was giving GBoard a try for a while. But I'll take Swype's quirks along with its functionality.
