This week’s Letters to the Editor is chock full of information.
First up, Word Search Daily has been displaying two January calendars and no February calendar. Rest assured, Pogo is aware of the problem and will have it solved shortly. In the meantime, don’t use the calendar to choose your puzzles, but “Play Daily Puzzle”. This will choose the most recent uncompleted puzzle and will allow you to work backwards in order to catch up, if need be.
With regards to Tri-Peaks 2, the Quest for the Ruby Ring, Pogo has received some praise, and some serious reports that players are being unceremoniously booted from the game and/or freezing up. Once again, rest assured, Pogo is collecting further information and hopes to have the problems resolved soon.
The Winter 2008 Super Badge has caused some to write in with questions. One player wanted to know how they could earn it if they’d already finished all of their yearly albums (and therefore had no personal challenges to choose). You can always re-do a challenge — for any reason, but also to earn a Super Badge. We recommend you choose a challenge you enjoyed, one that you completed quickly, or one that rewards a high amount of tokens. It’s up to you! But remember, as the editor had to remind someone this week, game award badges do not count toward a Super Badge, as much as we’d all love that!
And last, but not least, the editor addressed the recent disappearance of the Card Masters premium badge album. If you haven’t purchased it yet, you may notice that it’s disappeared from Badge Central, and it’s not available to give as a gift for those who have it already. Pogo assures us it was removed from the site prematurely, but it’ll return soon, and it’ll be on sale to boot.
There are a few other topics we didn’t cover, so check out this week’s Letters to the Editor if you want to read it all for yourself.

We’ve got more details on the new premium badge album in development. It’ll be called Relax and Play, and it will have challenges in the nine games we mentioned earlier (Mahjong Garden, Poppit!, Jigsaw Detective, First Class Solitaire, Jungle Gin, Dominoes, Word Search Daily, Sweet Tooth 2, and Thousand Island Solitaire), as well as in Rainy Day Spider Solitaire. All of the badges are animated and show scenes of people at play and at relaxation.

We have VERY limited details on a new premium badge album that’s in development. So far it’s got 9 badges and one bonus badge for completing the album. It contains challenges for Mahjong Garden, Poppit!, Jigsaw Detective, First Class Solitaire, Jungle Gin, Dominoes, Word Search Daily, Sweet Tooth 2, and Thousand Island Solitaire. Usually these albums have a more “round” number of challenges (like 10 instead of 9), so we’re expecting to report an additional challenge, plus more details as they surface.
