So while there have been concerns, has anyone actually been denied miles?
yes.

not only are you denied miles, your entire account can be zeroed.

Solve the puzzle...

I had a flexicon that was brutal... the fourth pane had only 1 or 2 "helps", and the rest were questions/solutions I've never heard of. Took about 15 minutes, was able to get the last 6 or so words.

I was finally able to figure out a workaround. Go to one of the clues that has the windows icon to "Get a Hint". Then click on "Quit" (with the lock picture). From there you should be able to get out of the game. Even though you won't get any points, it will skip you to the next game which should load properly. I haven't had any problems since.

(Before I figured out the workaround I kept trying to use the "Skip" button, but then the same game you mentioned kept loading and I couldn't play further)

TY, joporto.
I was getting mighty tired of seeing NAN repeatedly show up, with only one line of the puzzle.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou! Flexicon is my favorite game, and I've been locked out of it for weeks. Now I can go to town.

You have actual knowledge that someone has been locked out this way?
