That being said, I found this line in their T&C's:
"You must not use any bot, cheat code or other automated way to do an Activity or participate in the Program."
I would interpret an Anagram solver as an automated way to do an activity.

So basically if they decide that it's not legal they'll simply invalidate your prize submission. And I'm sure they're not going to specifically mention some methods since it may encourage those who didn't know about them to try them out.

Or can I keep going "to the well" for 2500 US miles at a time?

Again I am not speaking on behalf of Microsoft. An anagram solver may be legit...but I highly doubt it...

Airborn, thanks so much for the info. In my read of the rules, etc., I've been unclear on one other piece on redemptions - do you know if are we allowed to only redeem miles once at each value? Once per airline?

There's a long, long thread on chepassgamer about Club Live although clearly there they focus more on the Xbox 360. There appears to be no consensus opinion on whether using an anagram solver and then entering the information manually into the games flags your account for fraud.

Don't know if it's due to the FlyerTalk posting or what, but I've been getting an error quite a few times the last few days when I visit the site. Hope they get things worked out.

Solving the puzzles too quickly? I'm sure there are scripts/bots out there that simply pause when one of those image verification boxes pop up, wait for the user to enter the correct string and then continue to fill in the boxes.

If people are using bots to solve these, that's pretty sad. An average game of Flexicon takes me less than 5 minutes, all the while using the Live search tool to get hints, but more often because I've played it enough that I'm getting repeats and have memorized the answers.
