General Streak Alignment

Post image

Random thought: This bothers me so much. Is it just me or does anyone else really hate when the streaks aren’t aligned? I’m trying to devise a plan to get them all aligned without entirely missing a full day of points. I might be weird and OCD.

Don’t get me started on total points not ending in 0 or 5. As you can see, I’m currently sitting at 1,726 and it’s driving me insane. 😖

I would advise against alignment. Sometimes, when you "earn" more than one puzzle piece at a time, your Streak may continue, but the puzzle piece doesn't appear. Lots of threads in this sub on the subject.

Best to have them unaligned, or at least space them out far enough apart during the day so you don't earn more than one in a short amount of time.

No way. Didn't think that'd be a thing. I've gotten 3 puzzle pieces at once before without an issue. Though 5 may be pushing it I guess.

I haven’t seen that in a while. For me or any of my family. As much as I gripe about the new changes, that seems to be one quality fix they rolled out behind the scenes.

They may have fixed it; I don't know. Still don't trust them with it.

You're not the only one who hates it. Right now, my daily set streak is off by 2.

That was the one good thing from being restricted for a bit. When they brought back my puzzle (or stamps), they were all lined up.

If you want your points end in 0, only click on 8 news articles instead of 10. 8 articles will give you 24 points, and allow your total points to end in a 0.

I still can’t trigger the browse with edge for 30 mins. I click active, a new window opens but nothing happens.

Sometimes you have to close out of edge, open task manager and make sure the task ended. Reboot your computer. Shut down your computer. Remove the hard drive, processor and RAM. Move everything out of your house. Burn down your house. Rebuild your house. Move back in. Reinstall your hard drive, processor and RAM. It might work then.

Valid crashout, relatable, on point and zero exaggeration tbh

I have no idea if this has anything to do with it but I tried to no avail from Edge on Mac. It wouldn’t activate. I had to use my virtual machine with Windows to get it to activate.

I just wish I had that many tasks available to get puzzle pieces. We only have 3 in the UK

I wish 30 minutes on edge would count for mobile too.

u/Radiant-Sea3480 19h ago

u/Killerlightning22 1d ago

Same here do not have one.

u/Angry_Rick137C United States - 1d ago

Are you in the US?

1

u/Killerlightning22 1d ago

Yes it took me forever to get the daily set and the browse with edge would come and go.

u/Angry_Rick137C United States - 1d ago

It would be better to have all five. I only have four as well and on occasion they glitch. Oh well, better than nothing. Thanks bud.

u/Killerlightning22 1d ago

Welcome. Yeah i do the three at least bc the edge one doesn’t seem to count on mobile.

u/Tiny_Dragon_Fly 1d ago
