 So, after playing Mahjong Solitaire for at least 2 years, I could not break 90,000 and only hit that once. I could not figure out how people were hitting 100,000 and above. I had AI review a screenshot and it noted that the game favors people with excellent recall of the screen and SPEED.  I hadn't been worrying about time. So I tried speeding up and it did give me a bump in scoring even with less clearance of the board.  My sense is it also a combination of "luck" with getting a good layout.  I also feel the new AARP choice of multiple ads during a play session doesn't help. If you agree let AARP know.

When I play Sudoku, I never score more than 10K, 20K, 30K or 40K depending upon the level I play.  But I see high scores in excess of 100K?  How do I score more than the basic max score for each level?

@StephenL855985 is a Lumeno player who regularly scores between 2-3 million and suggests these strategies for boosting your score:   Play to leave as many boosts and arrows on the board as possible after each move regardless if it produces the highest score reduction. You must maintain the ability to have good moves for the next turn so don't wipe out the board even if you can.   Continue to choose long ball chains over point reduction moves because it will produce more boosts and flowers for future moves.   Look at the board carefully when eliminating balls to make sure your next move is set up for a good play.   Always try to choose at least four ball chains at a minimum because this guarantees at least one additional flower or boost next move.   You can keep your finger on the mouse to see the point reduction before releasing the play and then back up and try another combination, so that way you can try multiple moves before deciding which

   I play Scramble Words every day (for points) but for at least 2 weeks or so it only gives points randomly. I play in multiple times in a day, sometimes it will reward points if I play again in the evening.Most times it just doesn't reward points at all.All of the other games I play for points are working perfectly.

I get displays like 95% or 88%, but I know I completed them

Could somebody please tell me why this game disappeared. I played it every day and really enjoyed the untimed mode. It was relaxing and fun. Is there a bounty for it's safe return?

family member, 66 years, is not yet collecting social security, recently diagnosed with lung cancer and more...my hunch is start collecting NOW ASAP even if it is only a short time  Any thoughts on this?

long time kaiser member, now when needed the most with recent lung cancer diagnosis, Kaiser sure seems to be dropping the ball and uncertain where to get help.several problems:1.  hospitalized for 7 days with more testing needed so they decide to discharge patient notifying family with about a 3 hour window (even though we were visiting just before that)  during that time the hospital bed and hoyer lift arrived and was set up to accept patient.  However, more test are needed and patient is immobile.  Do you think Kaiser realizes that tests are done in the hospital not at the home and each and every time they need a new test that is performed at the hospital that they are paying the ambulance fees per his plan but how jolting this is for the patient>  Why not just keep him in the hospital until the testing is complete? 2  Today kaiser decided he needs an imaging appointment and it is scheduled for Friday.  We asked about providing the transport

Am I the only one annoyed by the advertisements that run along side the games? Does anyone agree that if these ads need to be there at least do not have them in motion as the movement causes distraction when trying to concentrate on a game? Why pay a member fee and be inundated with ads!

Im just curious, this score is just not possible.You would need to roll almost all the scoring spots as single color with a 3x bonus. Even if you got all three 5 of kind, all 3 big straights, all 3 small straights at 3x you're not even 1/2 way there.What am I missing?

I haven't been able to play Outspell or the Mini Daily Crossword games in a few days.  The games never load.
