I love monopoly and I love crossword cove so these sound like fun smooth challenges for me that I will like doing. But please Pogo, let that Rainy Day Spider Solitaire badge we had this week be the hardest one for the rest of the year. :-p

Crossword Cove – We won’t know until Wednesday if we can redo puzzles or if they have to be new puzzles.
The number of power ups per puzzle depends on what level you are playing on….
Easy – 4 power ups
Normal – 2 power ups
Hard – NO power ups
Good Luck Everyone!

Do not like Monopoly at all but it will have to be done anyway. Crossword will be a breeze with a little help from this site.

Can’t we do the Monopoly on speedy?
JeFie6 says
To make the Monopoly challenge easier, play with a friend or double browse and when you get to the monopoly screen, there are tabs across the top; select customs one, then get a room and make it private. The yellow screen comes up. At the top it says “Start with these rules”…choose pogo rules. Then set timer to fast,…set rounds at 35. Then uncheck Auction unwanted properties…and also uncheck allow computers to fill empty seats. Now 2 real people can play without the bots. Also remember not to buy any properties at all, just go round and round as fast as you can.
Good luck and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Jean
BEE says
Thank you, thank you Jean. Great tip. Happy Thanksgiving.

On Crossword Cove … if you can not replay the puzzles … you get 4 power-up on normal each day if you click on calendar and u have a black check on the previous day, go ahead and click on it and it will give you the 2 power-ups and tokens … then you complete the puzzle for the day and also get 2 power-ups and tokens … so keep doing that for each day … so in 4 days you get your badge ….. same goes for when playing on easy … only thing is that the first time you will get only 2 when you click on the black check mark if you have been playing on normal. after you click on the black check and get the power up and tokens, you will have to then switch to ‘easy’, then you can just do it in 3 days … just an idea, take care and have fun … hope you all understand what i am trying to say …
silnet says
Jefie # 5 tip is great.
If I can add a little thing.
If no one buys any property every time you land there it will ask you is you want to buy or not and you have to click Don’t buy.
To make the game go faster, buy all the properties but mortgage them as soon as you buy them, this way there are no more pop ups asking if you want or not the property.

JeFie #5 Thank you so much for the tip. I have my accounts set up this way and will now enjoy playing it.
Kathy says
#4 you can play on speedy that is what will be playing in Monopoly because i have another badge i will be working so it will go a little faster.
Frosty says
Thank you #10 Electric Tiger. I will look forward to playing Monopoly when I can do the laundry while the game plays on its own.
widow says
i also want to thank electrictigerfor the link AND MAINLY TERRI ANN for that tip. i messed up when tip was first posted, set game to “speedy” then wondered why i couldn’t set other options, lol. ! and too embarrassed to ask for a repeat of terri ann’s post.*sheepish red face here*.
now i have followed the directions correctly, also set up a friend’s rules for her. let badge day begin 😉
crissylynn22 says
Glad these will be easy. I usually do crossword cove 2 weeks at a time so I will be ready on Wednesday and have a Mix and Match to go with it.
mmklima says
For Crossword Cove, I’m ranked out. Have been for a few years. So I don’t play it unless it is a challenge of some kind. So I won’t have any problem with doing “new” puzzles.
If you are worried they will do that, (advice a little to late now. I know.) Not to play for the days before the “Wednesday challenges” (Is that the new name for them? Hehe)
For Monopoly- Wait, do you just have to land on it or actually buy it? That will change my thinking of how to play the game. hmm
RyzandShyn says
Thank goodness for Terri Ann! I’ve used those directions for a good long time now and probably wouldn’t have many (or any) Monopoly badges without them.
Here are two little tweeks I make to the directions sometimes, depending on the criteria of the badge I have to do, but it helps get me some more go-arounds from the time limit I set.
-Sometimes I’ll sit and play and try to get one property in each color block so that the bots can’t trade and build and bankrupt me early.
-Sometimes I’ll set it so that we all start with 4 properties. Then I sit and play and buy
properties to foil the bots as described above.
When I do this, the bots try to contact me to make trades. I just check the “ignore” box when it pops up and then we all just go round and round the board.
Good Luck to all!
Rusty says
I just went into Monopoly to change all the settings listed here but it won’t let me change anything on the top….only the bottom. What do I have to click on to customize the settings? Having another senior moment I am!!! Thanks all
mommalove44433 says
Having same problem as Rusty…it won’t let me change the options…someone please help.
mommalove44433 says
OK, need to revise my prior statement, I didn’t hit CUSTOM to change the stats, but question, IF I wanna play with computers in a private table, whats the best way to do this game? I hate the game to be honest. I thought I read where you can do something to have it play by itself and that would be great, so if anyone has BETTER instructions to help this go along tomorrow, I’d sure appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Bobbi says
I forgot all about the new name *Wednesday* lol
Haven’t played CC in a long time, I’ll need to see if I still have it on easy. Thanks for the reminder !
Kathy says
for those who having problems not be able to let click on custom to set up game i found this in the forums Do you have to be a pogo club member for a custom game?
Yes, the Custom Rooms for MWE are a perk of Club Pogo membership
i hope this helps also you need to go to chat open up a room to set up your options to play the game
Pb mulligan says
For those people not able to change their custom rules — When you click on the game before you hit start game go to chat room list, the go to the line that says game mode and mark custom- then open a game room. It should let you change the settings.
RyzandShyn says
Monopoly The World Edition
Click on the Chat Room tab
At the top, above the room names is a bar called Game Mode
Click on Custom

I don’t see this week’s challenges, I don’ see them, I went into weekly and didn’t see anything either. 🙁
Lura says
Weekly (now Wednesday) Challenges are not available until 7am Eastern time.
MeMentatMan says
I do CC every day on hard, and was delighted to find that if I replayed past puzzles on Easy, simply filled in the four starred words and hit submit, got credit. Badge took about 10 minutes.
