Twice I've had Chicktionary flash a screen saying I had completed all the puzzles. The first time I was pretty sure that was unlikely, so the next day I tried again and it worked for a long time. Recently it said I was through again, but I just closed the game and reloaded it.

You could just open another account ....

I haven't been able to play Flexicon for many weeks, and Crosswire for at least two weeks. Of course Matt Lauer was gone long ago, and Prime Suspects. I'm getting by on Clink, but soon I might have to go to Spelling Bee or one of the games I haven't tried, because I just don't enjoy Clink very much. I'm lucky if I manage to stay at it long enough to get 300 points.

If you haven't maxxed out any games, I would say Matt Lauer and then Chicktionary. Spelling Bee is the same fundamental concept as Chictionary but runs / loads a lot slower on my computer . . .

Spelling Bee = Chicktionary with different images. It's not so bad.

I did try getting back into Chicktionary multiple times - shortly before I "ran out", I started getting puzzles that maxed out at 16 points (e.g. only had 25-30 slots for words instead of 25). Going to stay with one account - don't want to kill the goose . . .

If you like crosswords at all, I would recommend Flexicon: 25 points per puzzle. Once you get the hang of it, many clues are repeated, and you can become quite fast.

I'm going to do Spelling Bee / CrossWire until I run out - don't know about Clink, as you said earlier that you didn't like it much. The Red Carpet Reveal game is tres lame, but I guess I could play that if needed.

Red Carpet maxes out around 460 points. Something to do to kill time.

I was primarily Seekadoo but hit a bug and have switched over to Flexicon. I like Crosswire but it can get old after a while (hate the sports ones) and does take a bit of time to get the twenty points.

I think the problem with Clink is the design of the interface. If it was quicker and easier to work with I could see it being a good game for its ten points.

Elvis Lives and to somewhat the same degree, Digbats, are nice but are too low in points. I just use them to adjust my points for the daily 1024 limit.

I have never gotten into the anagrams but I might need to just deal with them and an anagram solver after the other games are exhausted.

I just got into Matt Lauer again. I had finished it before and not been able to play for some time. 10 pts instead of 20 , but still fast points.

Picture This can go very quickly if you have a good partner, and it seems to have an advantage that you will never run out of games.

Unfortunately I've been through it twice, at 20 and then 10 points. But someday they'll give me more Flexicon puzzles.

Word Slugger bug

Word Slugger appears to have a bug in it. If you click on "Hint" and there are no more hints, it locks up. Solution: I don't click on "Hint" at all in Word Slugger since you never know when there aren't any more hints.
