There’s a new Premium Badge Album in the works (in addition to the Family Classics Premium Badge Album we told you about earlier)! It’s got ten animated badges and one for completion. There will be challenges in Aces Up, Everyone Wins Bingo, Hog Heaven Slots, KenoPop, Lottso, Pogo Addiction Solitaire, Pogo Bowl, Poppit, Sweet Tooth, and possibly Dice City Roller.
Also, this one seems to have a picnic-type theme, and a few of the badges feature squirrels (or chipmunks — we can never tell these cartoon ones apart).
Update: Our friend Kathy wrote in this morning to tell us that this album will be called “Friends Forever”.

Lottso! - Lots o’ Lottso Badge
Place 600 balls on the game cards this week!
If you’re okay with word puzzles (or if you use the hints below to get this week’s other badge quickly), this one will be your time-consuming badge this week. Each round presents you with 6 balls, and at 10 rounds per game you’ll be playing at least 10 (mathematically, but more realistically 11 or 12) games to place 600 balls. If you don’t play Lottso very much, you’ll probably want to observe the following tips:
- Place balls by dragging and dropping them from the holder into the cards rather than clicking to avoid mistakes.
- If you have a wild (a star), place it last.
- If you have a free space, place it last as well.
- Clearing out a 3-ball card may give you a 5-ball card, so go for it!
- You’re not going for score or Super Lottso here, just place place place as many balls as you can each round.
Word Whomp Whackdown - Perfect Word Badge
Find EVERY WORD (in the main round and Speed Round) once this week!
For this one, play on Easy mode. In the main round, the words are listed by number of letters, in alphabetical order — you can rule out certain letter combinations. If there’s an S in your puzzle, don’t forget to try plurals. (BadgeFairy wants you to know she got hers on the first try, but she’s a big word nerd.)
