  Hi there, it sounds like your account has been switched to the unified navigation and you formerly accessed the Classic Editor through WP Admin. If that is the case, you’ll need to turn on the Advanced Navigation in your Account Settings> Interface Settings> Dashboard Appearance https://wordpress.com/me/account

  

  While the Classic Editor is currently available, in the long run you’ll want to give the full Block Editor or the Classic Block a workout. The more you use it, the easier it will become. WordPress.com also published a guide specifically for writers and bloggers that you can find here https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor-for-writers-bloggers/

  Hope that helps, but post back here if you have any other questions on this.

  I tried that, and chose the blue classic interface, but when I go back to edit a current post, it does not offer me a classic option. Instead it insists on block.
  I detest block and if it is the only choice, I will not use wordpress.

  When you hover your mouse over the Post title, does the option to edit in the Classic Editor not appear? That has not changed from previous navigation in WP Admin.

  I really hate the blocks too and I wish WordPress would stop changing things around on me.
