What should I focus on first in Tropical Match 2?Always check the level objective before making your first move. Not every level has the same goal, and efficient progress always matters more than random matching.How do I create more boosters in Tropical Match 2?Look for opportunities to match four or five pieces instead of settling for basic three-piece matches. Basic matches won’t allow you to have exponential, board-clearing successes, but managing your pieces so you can match a bunch of them at once will lead to more boosters and more wins.See our AARP game FAQs.

Should I clear small groups right away in Crystal Collapse Summer Nights?Usually, you don’t want to clear groups right away. Larger groups score more points and often create stronger opportunities later in the level. Always look to clear two effects at the same time – combining two effects could lead to a full-board wipe, in some cases.How can I use special tiles effectively in Crystal Collapse Summer Nights?Save special tiles for difficult situations or combine them with other effects for maximum impact. Don’t just pop special tiles to see their effects – use them to get out of tough spots where you need to open up the board, or use them alongside other special tiles for board-shaking effects.See our AARP game FAQs here.

How can I create bigger combos in Summer Sweet Shuffle?Instead of taking the first match you see, look for opportunities to set up four- and five-piece matches. These create powerful boosters that can clear large sections of the board. Some boosters eliminate entire rows or columns (or both!), or surgically get rid of specific types of sweets.What is the best place to make matches in Summer Sweet Shuffle?Try matching pieces near the bottom of the board instead of at the top. This often creates chain reactions that can complete goals without using extra moves – and can include the creation and elimination of additional boosters, leading to big impacts!See our AARP game FAQs here.

   How about another game? We can even use the songs we use in the ABC's game.  The last letter of the last posted song will be the first letter of the next song. Reply to the start post of the thread.   If someone posts the same " first lettered" song at the same time, no problem.   No need to correct anyone.   Simply, use whatever the last letter of that posted song to post your title. Have Fun!

 Not sure if this has been done before (got tired of searching after 20 or 30 pages and search function doesn't always provide expected results).  List a song title with it's group/singer alphabetically. A - Z and start over. I think there should be a song somewhere for every letter. Any year is acceptable. Double postings are ok. Starting off with:    A Hard Day's Night  - Beatles   For the letters Q, X and Z:   When those letters come up, you may skip them and post the next letter. Or, you can post a Q, X or Z and post the next letter if you wish. Either choice is fine.

OkayThis is meant to be a long running topic .  The rules are simple and there are a zillion songs out there, so lets see what we can do with this.You start with a song title.  Let's use  Love in an Elevator - AerosmithYou look at that title, pick out one word from it and find a new song title with that word in it,( example, In & Out of Love - Bon Jovi)  then post the new title as your post.  The next person follows.   See easySo lets give it a try.    My title is   Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith.Diane  

Same guidelines as the original forum.The only difference is this is for oldies.I am setting the following rule:No songs beyond 1975 I'll start with a classic: When A Man Loves A Woman:  Percy Sledge I'm Amending this forum to allow the use of songs up to and including 1975
