Okay all you Bubble Dragon High Scorers, and I mean those of you who consistently pass the 400k mark (you know who you are!)  WHAT'S THE SECRET????  I've been playing this game for several years now and my high score was just over 416k and I've broken 400k only a couple times.  I've tried every strategy I can think of, but I just can't get there.  My aim is quite good, but don't always make it to level 15 or even 14.  My average is in the mid 300k range.  I would love it if you could share the secret or even just pass on a hint.  Thank you!!!

 Any new information on the scoring not appearing for the majority of the players?

AGAIN!!!!  Where are my points for Scramble Words.  It happens every other day.  No matter what I do.

I I play this frequently and have gotten pretty good at it.  I love the combination of fast reflexes and keen observation to try and post a high score.  I play the hard version and always try to finish in under one minute. What's frustrating is that it seems the better I've gotten, the less winnable games AARP serves up.  I generally allocate time to play until I win a game.  I used to win about once every 20 games (roughly 20 minutes).  Now it seems like I can play for an hour and never get a winning game. Plus after all the hundreds of games I've played over the years, I can't break 1599 as my high score.  I daily see players in the 1600's and even 1700's.  To get a score like that you have to move fast and retain a lot of cards in the deck, meaning there were runs set up that just flow. I've yet to get dealt a hand like that. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?   Golf Solitaire

If you love mahjong solitaire, you’re in for a treat. Mother’s Day Mahjong Solitaire brings the same satisfying tile-matching gameplay with a bright, feel-good theme, and it even includes an untimed mode for extra-relaxing play.Do you play fast and instinctively, or slow and super-planned?

At the beginning, it’s tempting to grab the first match you see... but a little scouting pays off. Start by clearing tiles on the top layers and along the long outer edges, because those removals tend to open up more tiles underneath. Before you make your first few matches, scan the board for duplicates of the same tile that are currently playable. If you have a choice between two matches, pick the one that frees up a new tile (or two) right away. More open tiles = more options = fewer dead ends.   Play here!

Today’s question asked which national park is partly within Montana.  The quiz showed Glacier as the correct answer, but it is 100% within Montana.  I selected Yellowstone which is 3% in Montana but was not credited with a correct response.

How are people getting 16,200 points? Even if you know all the words on the first try it's only 10,800. What's the trick?

AARP's big push is on senior scams.Once again, got box that I had already done the two small crosswords, so no points awarded.Isn't that odd?.....A gazillion old f-ts out here and they can't find somebody to beta test the stuff?I've given up contacting AARP and  Arkadium - nice people but it's not productive.

What happened to Let's Block Champ??  I recently came back to this game and it was sketchy, no connection issues, then you'd get a good day, and now it's completely dead.  Can we get this game back?

I find the instructions for the trivia games.  They are  too lengthy and confusing.  Please condense 

 I'd like to second the post by @linDue of 3-31-26. I don't think I have ever seen an online ad I hated as much as these. I have commented on the feedback tab on this site, and I have reached out to the customer service contact on the advertiser's site to advise them that I will never, never, never buy their products. I also will not be renewing my AARP membership if this continues. Whoever approved this seizure-inducing monstrosity of an ad campaign needs to be fired.

On or around mid-June of 2025, a games user posted multiple scores that were essentially IMPOSSIBLE in the game of 5ROLL.  I posted a message in the GAMES TIPS forum on 6/21/25 asking this user what advice they could give me to attain these IMPOSSIBLE SCORES.  At that time, this user had never posted any comments on any forum before they placed these IMPOSSIBLE SCORES on the 5ROLL leader boards. They never posted any comments to any forum since the incident in June2025. Now, on January 29, 2026 they have returned to the web site to place another IMPOSSIBLE SCORE on the 5ROLL leader boards. Again, this user, @NancyA741365, has never posted any comments to any forum either before, during, or after the placement of these IMPOSSIBLE SCORES to 5ROLL. Please investigate this issue.

Hello All!  I hope that you are having a smashing day today! Just recently, within the past month or so, I have been playing the games above and have noticed something most peculiar. BTW, I love playing these two games!! When my cue-ball makes a hit against the other balls---and even gets close to a pocket [which would be a foul] the cue-ball speeds up and goes in, causing the foul! I'm not at all implying any impropriety, but I have noticed it more prevalent than before. I was just wondering if anyone who plays these games has seen this phenomenon and notice it now more than ever. I also play "bubble shooter" and "Mahjong Remix" with no problems whatsoever. Just curious what your experience might be... Have fun no matter what. You deserve it! Lois
