Wow! Thank you Ken2!!! I'll give it a try!

[Stinkerbell]

I tried it and it worked! Sadly, it would only work about 3x per puzzle then stopped, but I did make a good dent in progress. :)

Greetings Stinker and others,
I have two main accounts and two dummy accounts and four computers I used to rank up.  At first, I wasn't waiting long enough...so I started writing down the time the computer went to sleep.  For me, I used 4 minutes of computer sleep to make sure my game progress was saved.

You will need 6,000 up to 7,200 letters for each rank increase from 50 to 60.  If you can get 374 letters per game (That is what I got) it will take 17-20 games to increase one rank.  If my math is correct, it should take you about 1.5 hours per rank.  I spread it out over a few days...and was glad to finish them off.  Now if you play using an auto...you will need about 65,000 letters to move from rank 50 to rank 60.  If you use an auto and just get 190 letters per day...you will be looking at 333 days...YIKES

Sorry to get wordy

PS...if you want me to give you a hand just PM me.  Heck, I'm retired and have lots of free time. (I hope a lot of time as I'm turning 70 ((ouch)) on Monday.

[Stinkerbell]

Thanks for the offer, Ken!

So how many times were you able to do this with a single puzzle? I was using a timer, setting it for 4 minutes, following the directions carefully. I had 5 available (unworked) puzzles and each puzzle only worked about 3 times before I had to go to the next one.

Greetings,
I tried it just once tonight...worked fine.   Let me give it another 10 tries tomorrow.  I can't tell if it giving me credit as I am ranked out.

Put your computer to sleep for 4 minutes!
Yes...I'll have just 8 more

Greetings,
After waking up your computer it should look something.  I have Windows 10 and use Torch Browser.

Now put your computer to sleep.
Repeat as often as needed.

This is after 10 games.

[Stinkerbell]

It must be my computer because all I got was 4 today, which is the most I've gotten.

[S1lent]

Greetings,
My computers are 1, 5, 6, and about 10 years old.

Might want to check your power settings...to see when your computer goes to sleep.  Mine is set to "Never".   Maybe changing it to 1 minute will do the trick.

Actually, now that you mentioned just 4 times, sometimes one of my computers would come out of sleep without me doing anything,

[Stinkerbell]

I didn't just wait for it to go to sleep, I clicked START>SLEEP waited 4 minutes woke it up and it worked, but only 4 times, tops.
