Pretty much, I skipped Chicktionary and just did Crosswire and Flexicon for the most part. If you do crossword puzzles at all Flexicon goes pretty quick. And you will start seeing the same clues and answers popping up over and over again so it goes even quicker as you go on. I did some on Clink as well just for variety, it's goes pretty quickly but it's only 10pts per puzzle.
Flexicon gives the highest number of points per game at 25. It also has the most games available currently, I was able to get 5773 points by beating all of the flexi puzzles (lost 2 points on one of them that was broken and wouldn't take the correct answers). According to the leaderboard though, some people have gotten 5800 from it, not sure how they did that.
Also just got an email that my copy of Vista has been shipped via fedex, and should be here on Friday.

Thanks Leonard, will do. I wish they actually had enough puzzles available to get the Xbox360, as it seems like a bait and switch at this point. I did get another 2500 and ordered an Xbox360 controller but I've pretty much tapped out the good puzzles and don't really want to waste time on Dingbats for 3pts apiece
How difficult is it to sell Vista Ultimate on eBay? From what I see, a lot of OEM copies sell for ~$200, but I've no idea what the success rate is for those sellers. Oh, and about how long would it take to garner 6000 points?
Great Sage
Banned deucer.
All I can say is, abuse Chicktionary like hell with an anagrammer. It's worth 20 points for copying and pasting, so if you're only trying to get tickets (like me), just do that one.
Well my stuff showed up today:
It's shouldn't take more than a week or so to get enough for Vista, depending on how fast it takes you to do one of the Flexicon puzzles as that where you can get the most points. Chicktionary is great too but it runs out of puzzles at around 1000pts so you have to do some of the others. Crosswire and Clink are also good ones to do as well. Vista is the full retail package so if they are getting $200 on ebay for OEM you should be able to get that for the retail package easy. However I suspect there will be a glut of them being sold soon because of this promotion so the price may drop, it remains to be seen. I'm planning on keeping my copy since I just built myself a C2D E6600 system. I think I'm going to start playing on another email address and work towards getting the Zune or the 360 now that I know it's legit. They took down Office as one of the prizes which was something else I had wanted.
