Check out the game PRESS YOUR LUCK, folks. There is a score of over 1.1 quintillion posted. That is an impossible score and yet, there it is. It can not be achieved through legitimate play of the game. It can only be achieved through somehow cheating the application or hacking the system. The game is patterned after the game show. To achieve this score three things would have to take place:(1) The “WHAMMY” would have to be disabled.(2) The ability to control where you land would have to be activated.(3) One would have to have days, maybe weeks, maybe months to attain a score that high.Why play the game if spurious players are going to be allowed to post scores unattainable by anyone else?

​@AARPConsumerCare There are a number of games I stopped playing because they aren’t working correctly and don’t award points. I’m aware of per day limits; clearing cache; and win/lose factors for the games I play. The script you use does not apply here. Some will award points after GAME OVER if you hit PLAY AGAIN. Some will award points if you play the game 3 or 4 times on the same day.  I’ve contacted AARP previously with no effect. Today, I contacted Arkadium who stated that AARP has complete control as to when points are awarded.I didn’t bother with a screenprint, but Sudoku penalizes you if you finish too quickly. NO points awarded if you get the answer in 3 minutes. What’s the point of a timer? I have screenshots of the following games to assist you in correcting the problem. CodeWord does not award points 20260907Outspell_20260907ScrambleWords does not award points 20260907WordWipe does not award points 20260907Arkadium says its AARP 2026 09 07

Is anyone else still having trouble getting points for doing codeword?I play everyday but can’t remember when was the last time I got points. 

Was wondering if there is any interest in table top role playing games. Dungeons an Dragons is the gold standard for role playing in a fantasy world where everything is made up in our minds, with the help of "Dungeon Master" that creates the world to be explored and have awesome adventures. There are several online tools to facilitate a game so playing can be done at your PC.  Or if enough people live close, many great places to meetup and play in person. Game plays best with 1 DM and 4-6 adventurers.

What is Hex Puzzle Adventure? Hex Puzzle Adventure is a puzzle game that’s as relaxing and satisfying as it is challenging. Match like-colored hexagonal pieces on a hexagonal board to remove as many stacks as you can!   What is the goal of the game? The goal of the game is to remove enough stacks to beat the level and move on to the next one.   How do I beat a level? To beat a level, place two stacks next to each other on the board with the same color piece at the top. The pieces will automatically jump to form one larger stack. When the stack is ten or more pieces, that color will be removed from the game, adding that many points to your total. When your total reaches your goal, you beat the level.   Can I lose? Yes. If you are unable to place a stack due to a full board, you lose a life.   How do lives/hearts work? You will start the game with five lives, or hearts. Every time you fail a level, you lose a life. If you lose all five lives, you won’t be able to play

I posted a few weeks ago about this but it seems to have disappeared.  In early August I scored 25M on Jewel Shuffle.  It never posted to the leaderboard.  I am not a regular gamer but I have never found that there is a time frame to complete the game.  Today I scored 10M and again it did not post.  Anyone else have issues like this?  It was posting for me earlier but ever since I scored above 4M it has not posted.  

Bigger is better—sometimes. If you use all six of your tiles on one word, you'll get an automatic 50-point bonus. But that's not the only way to gain an advantage. Look carefully for open x2 and x3 tiles, which double or triple the letter (if it's a blue tile) or word (if it's a red tile). And look extra carefully for when those tiles can create two separate words. Do that and your bonus will be counted twice! Try Outspell today!

Since the last conversation was closed without resolution, I would like to open this up again. I am now getting the error message on both Google Chrome and Apple Safari, where before it was just Chrome. It is NOT an issue of clearing cache. My Macbook just rebooted and I’m getting this error on both browsers now. I have a background/career in software development and I know this can be fixed by a programmer if they would just be assigned the task. Also note that this happens only on the Daily Puzzle that I”ve seen. The Mini Crossword page that I also do every day is working fine, if that helps the developer.

Why does Hurdle not award any points if you make it to the final screen and miss the word?   If you get that far on skill your only way to get points is suddenly based on luck if there are 3 or more possible words that could fit but only 2 spaces to get the correct word.  Seems unfair to do all that work and get nothing at the last minute.
