Don't forget to mention that chicktionary, spelling bee and word slugger are all essentially the same, but the secret to doing them quickly is finding an anagram solving site (I recommend anagramssolved dot com) to get the answers, then just type those words as fast as your fingers will let you. If you type too quickly, you'll get in game captchas and should slow down a hair. I have 75000 tickets on my account, playing mostly flexicon, and the anagram games.
Oh yeah, the 360 for 55,000 tickets is an absolute ripoff. I wouldn't pay the 42,000 tickets, let alone this garbage. They need to add some 360 games to the prize list. I could really use some Halo 3, Gears of War, something like that...
