Interesting. I did a redemption yesterday, and another this morning... the one today has the additional email going to airincentives, the one yesterday, not. This was for AA miles, so its not unique to DL apparently.

Flexicon Max points

Does anyone know what is the maximum points one can earn for Flexicon?

For me, Word slugger is about 28k, chickionary and spellingbee are about 22-23k.

Thanks for the response!

Has anybody tried Word Duel? I've tried a few times and have been unsuccessful with getting the game to work. I can select the letters, but when I click submit, nothing happens and I end up loosing the game to the other person.

Any feedback?

Maybe azim esmail is one of their tech guys and added his email address for some tests and forget to take it out. After all when you click through the redeem part it already runs (hidden as frame) on points.com and you also get the mail from points.com which is the same as airincentives.

I only tried it once, but I was under the impression that you profit from another and points are rather shared. If I'm not mistaken you enter the letters turn wise, so when the other guy is busy you'll have to wait and can't enter anything. Either with increasing number of turn or when you enter long words, the max amount of letters you can enter also increased.

Unfortunately, you won't be hitting 1MM from LSC alone. You can make it almost half way though if it lasts long enough. I had hopes of 2MM, but it wasn't meant to be.

After you select the letters from above the Saloon, you must then select them to spell out your word, THEN Submit.

Note, you get more points for using all the letters in your turn. i.e. 5 blanks and a 5 letter word. Fewer points if you do not use all letters.


But the sharing deal usually results in 16-19 points. Lowest I received was 13 highest was 19.

Just a FYI Appears that Seekadoo is about 18000-20000 max. Just maxed out at 16,800 but many "Give up" at 93% complete. (no need to waste time with piddly games. )

Looks like I got the answer today...I maxed out at 35,500 tickets. Hope they add more puzzles very soon...for me, this is the fastest way to add tickets to my account.

Does it matter if you win or lose?

Do you solve every puzzle? I maxed out around 26k, but I don't try to max out every puzzle, which ends up with me averaging 16-18 points a game and leaves a couple thousand points on the table in the grand scheme of things.

Yes, I solve them all. There is so much repetition of certain clues from one puzzle to the next that it becomes pretty routine after a while. I've come up on a few puzzles over the last couple of months that had some fairly off-the-wall clues, but if you just keep chipping away, they can be solved without too much difficulty.

This is pretty sad. Microsoft is essentially bribing us to use their search engine, yet Google beats them and sets record with market share.

Then I enjoy sadness. Two words... free miles.
