Yeah, some of those are impossible to read. I usually try and put in the five characters and hope I get lucky.

Yeah, thanks Aus. This is such an easy game. Especially once you figure out which country/area of the world the questions are about.

Really good way to get a bunch of points quickly
Talk about point value for time spent playing...maxed out in a little bit more than 1 hr. First time I've ever maxed out, but what a great game!

But with this new game, 5K free miles every 9 days seems feasible.
At least until the new Matt Lauer puzzles run out...

The Matt Lauer game makes me feel silly for spending so much time scraping together points via Flexicon and Spelling Bee...

I thought everyone was joking about how quickly you can earn points with the new game, but it's true.

You would have though Matt Lauer had more questions than this too. Lots of repeats make it even easier to rack up the points.

Thanks for the heads up on the new game!
I was getting alot of errors in Flexicon, so it is great that the new lauer game is on.

I am finally getting some quick tickets again!

and yes, I can't read the codes either, I must be colorblind!
Thanks FT

A much quicker way of earning points for me than any other game I've tried.

I gave up for a while because it's just too time consuming, but thanks for the tip about the new game. I'm off to try my luck!

That had to have taken a while to get all those quoted, you probably could have racked up a couple hundred miles in the time it took you to post.gotta admire your dedication though.
