Hmmmm.... I DID receive a confirmation email for redeeming points for miles, but there's nothing in my redemption history. Is that bad? Does it take a few days to show up?

I will have you know that I had nothing to do with miles either posting or not posting to your account!

I've tried various combinations capitalizations, one word (for tea cup), and misspellings to mimic typos but it seems like they don't accept any answers for those two...just have to loose 2 points each it appears.

I have an additional problem at the Rialto Theater. In one puzzle, "George" will not click at all no matter what. So... I am one puzzle short from completing the entire thing.

I had the same problem a couple days ago. Today, I went back to the same puzzle, and I was able to click on "George". I don't know if it made a difference, but today "George" was the first item in the picture that I clicked on.

Use the tab key to find the "pixel" that it is glitching on in that puzzle. Tab is also a good way to find the items for the clues at the beginning of each puzzle.

That did the trick - thank you.

If i'll use a website, like Anagram Solver, to find the words for the Chicktionary game.
Is that cheating?

Yes.

Btw, the main thing I'm learning from all these games is how much better Google is for search. Anyone else notice that?

It depends. Are you in it for the entertainment or to earn airline miles?

I don't think so. I think any resource accessed through Live Search is fine to use. Also, I think you would be foolish to play these games (other than for entertainment) without using something like an anagram solver.

I gotta play 3000 games for 20 points... :-)

Anyone play the picture this?
My wrists were tired from typing so gave it a try...it stinks.

I think everyone here playing it should just pick the 1st photo already!!!
That way we match up quick and get more tickets!

I tried it and thought I would apply the above logic. Apparently the person(s) I was paired with didn't think that, and I finally gave up. It's kinda dumb, don't ya think?

I'm fairly certain that each side sees the pictures in a different order. If not, MS did not think it through well.
