stormyeyes2 says
Wow…there is no Scrabble, one of my favorite games! Wonder if it was a mistake, or they just took it out? The other 2 seem easy enough though.
Happy Badge Day ev1 🙂
Lura says
stormyeyes2: Scrabble is there, but because UK players can’t play it, the challenge doesn’t show on the UK home page. Are you looking at the UK page?
~*~Bobbi~*~ says
Ali Baba there is a matching in the 2003 weekly book : Treasure Trove Badge get 150 STW
stormyeyes2 says
Oh my, yes I am!! I have been having trouble with games loading and the UK side seems to work better for that issue. You made my day, now if they will load over there.
Thank you very much Lura 🙂
jinty55 says
Laura,
Does this mean UK players cant play the scrabble challenge? if so could Pogo not put something else in its place for UK players.
Lura says
jinty55: yes, that’s why there are 3 weekly challenges this week. UK players get 2 weekly challenges, just like every other week.
Phil says
Tip for Ali Bore Bore slots

CaptHitsugaiya says
Got them all. The Ali Baba took an hour to get.
jinty55 says
Thank you very much Laura for answering my question.

I used all the double letter spaces on the board and I got credit for only two. What did I do wrong?
Sapphire23 says
queen- #10: I think you have to add letters onto an exisiting word to get credit for it.
Zerp says
Its not just UK who cant play Scrabble it all countries exept for US and Canada. Discrimination…
Pogo knows this and still they pick challenges in Scrabble.
One thing they can do is to pick a challenge not US and Canada can do to make it more fair. We cant even win jackpot spins or free gems. No coke awards or anything. Still we pay same prices for Club Pogo.
About the other weekly badges… When you play Rainy day spider try to split the two colors up. Its not like First class were you need to have black, red, black red.
Good Luck everyone
Lura says
Pogo’s only got Scrabble (and other games) because they’ve got a deal with Hasbro. The weekly challenges we see in Hasbro games from time to time are probably part of their contractual obligation. Hasbro doesn’t have rights to the Scrabble game outside of North America, so that’s why Pogo offers an additional challenge when Scrabble is a weekly. It’s not the fairest situation, but it’s probably the best solution they could come up with given their obligations.
kathy says
queen you need to land your first letter of your word on the double score box to get credit….in scrabble
~*~Bobbi~*~ says
In Scrabble, it is the *Double Letter Score* you need it is *BLUE* & says *2L*
widow says
less than 15 minutes in ali baba, and two badges down!
thanks for the tip, bobbi!!
jan says
anyone not getting the tiles to refill on the rack in scrabble?
queenogab_ says
Thanks Bobbi. I thought they meant double WORD score. Now it makes sense.
playjpf3 says
to #12 Zerp when playing spider solitaire you play on easy and there is only one color for that one. Hope everyone has a good badge day
queenogab_ says
Got the badge now. It was easy once I knew what to do, LOL
vibirdlady says
Was playing Ali Baba and only got credit for 15 tokens., seemed stuck Will stop for now any again later. Any one else having problems?
Spider Game OK
Haven’t tried Scrabble yet.
Vera ^v^ ^v^ ^v^
kathy says
for additional help with scrabble finding words i use http://www.wineverygame.com/
it has been very helpful with the scrabble and qwerty badges
CaptHitsugaiya says
I got the Scrabble badge, but I never got the pop-up. Rather odd as that doesn’t usually happen with current weeklies. I did get the 100 and 8 8s badges. Of course, I’m only rank 8, so I have time to get the 500 badge.
I’m doing my personals in Squelchies. Damned game keeps freezing up, even playing from the UK portal.
slo2rayne says
you do not have to land the first letter of your word on the double letter square to get credit, you just have to make sure one of the letters in your word actually lands on the blue double letter square
~*~Bobbi~*~ says
Ali Baba is *get 150 on the Spin to Win* that is when you land on the Magic Lamp,,, seems like a lot of people think it is *GET 150 token While Spinning* thats why it seems like it’s not regestering over the first 15 tokens that is won on it , you need to keep getting the *Lamps* & be lucky enough to get more that a 15 token win on it .

Zerp (comment#12)
That is not completely true, I’m not in the US or Canada and I can play Scrabble.
With that said, I don’t like Scrabble challenges they always seem to long to me, games take for ever to finish even playing super fast and against a bot (that also plays fast).
Any tips to make the game go faster?
MomsBassetHound says
Silnet #26 – Go into the advanced options and set the game for 50 or 100 points. The games go fast and you can get quite a few right at the beginning of the game. I just got the badge in about 15 minutes playing against the bot.
Suz
*~*Bobbi~*~ says
Silnet #26 I love scrabble, the only way you can get a game over fast is to make long words, using up the tiles faster.
Anyone know why Scabble isn’t allowed ? Is it Hasbro? That’s kind of not fair, do they prohibit the Sale of their products?
LacertaCK says
Yeah, just to reinforce, there is no requirement on which letters have to fall on the double letter score space, or whether you have to add to existing words. You just have to make words that cover the blue spaces labeled “double letter score”. Quite a few times, I got credit for 2 in the same word (mostly right in the middle of the board.
I doubled with a M&M badge to get 91 double letter score spaces. The weekly took me 2 games (got 16 the first game and 17 the second game). I got to 91 in 6 games. I didn’t worry about winning, just went for any word that would get me the double letter spaces. Not too bad. I still have one to do that requires the triple word score 199 times. That one will take a long time, considering there are only 8 on the board, and they are harder to get.
@21: in Ali Baba, for this badge, you only get credit for tokens won in the Spin to Win rounds. So you have to get a lamp, and then hope for a good spin. I got 15, 50, 50, 15, and then when I was so close that pretty much anything would get me there, of course, I then rolled a 500. Took me about 40 minutes.
CFrank1966 says
My tip for ABS is just click away and turn on some music. Although that is not what I did. I was into game for five minutes and I didn’t get the lamp but got the Pogo logo for jackpot spin. That gave me the badge. I thought it was spin to win.
BillTrout says
Hasbro only has the license to Scrabble in North America. Mattel has it everywhere else in the world.
Nancy says
Not my favorite games but I got them all within a reasonable amount of time.
Almost missed the Scrabble, tho. Darn “new home page” — guess I didn’t
scroll down far enough. Oh, and I had to use wonderful BadgeHungry to
find out the Bonus Token games today, it was a pain trying to find what
games were Bonus Token games if they were not in my long list of
favorites.
Silnet says
Thanks for the tips Moms and Bobbi
Moms; your tip worked great with this week’s badge, games didn’t last for ever and it took me only 2 games to get it, well 3, I forgot to activate the badge so no credit for 1st game lol
Bobbi: I decided to do one of the old scrabble badges as personal but it required to play Pogo rules only so I used your tip and tried for long words when possible and it worked, games still lasted a bit long but at least I got rid of that badge. I also tried to explain to the bot about your tip but “he” kept making small words, guess he didn’t understand the strategy lol
