  WordPress has deleted all links back to the old editor, hoping we’ll all use the new one. There’s a long thread on the topic that includes several workarounds for getting back to the old one: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-reinstate-the-option-of-choice-to-use-the-old-publishing-format?replies=942
  WordPress promises they aren’t going to remove the old editor, but they aren’t going to help us get to it.

  To find your classic dashboard, simply add “wp-admin/” to the end of your WordPress.com URL, i.e. http://ruthwan.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
  Bookmark that link so you can easily find it next time.

  A page with all the workarounds to avoid the new editor and use the classic instead can be found here: http://git.io/wpcom-restore-classic-ed

  Please rather give users the second link I gave here. No one wants to read through thirty-two pages of complaints to find the few helpful answers buried there.
