Crossword Cove mix and match

Am I crazy or is it really impossible to complete this challenge using the auto.  201 hints would take forever.  Is this a mistake by Pogo?  Help

I did it by hand easy..Each puzzle has about 50 words..just do hint/solve for the whole puzzle and if you run out of undone ones,just keep doing todays over again till you get the amount you need..Less than an hour to complete it..

[DarylD]

I thought it was using 201 of the star hints, not just hints for every word.

[gran2x2]

Nope..it's the hint/solve button that counts..

[DarylD]

You were right and I did it in less than an hour.  Thanks so much.  This site is always so helpful.

Get the answer from The Washington Post, it's the same daily puzzle.

Glad I could help...

To copy the WP wouldn't give you the hint progress for the badge though..lol

[ozcar]

No, but all you need to do is click on the star before you complete the puzzle.

[gran2x2]

But you don't need stars..You have to use the HINT button for badge credit..

[ozcar]

Isn't that what the stars do?  You get the star box, the the star counter light up.  When you hit the star, it fills the most common letter in the puzzle.  I may be wrong, I just play it once for the badge, or was it for the daily special.   shrug.

It took me 4 minutes per puzzle and took 6 puzzles

for a grand total of 24 minutes to get this badge by hand.

I can help anyone that needs it. I got this badge lots x10 and I did not play a single game by hand.

I agree with Lucky. It is six puzzles, using all hints. You will enjoy seeing that dumb crab pop up over and over and over again.
