Subject: Crystal Ball tips

One of the games I really struggle to get results in is the Crystal Ball game. I don't play often and to date I have only had ever one guess win. I see lots of players with really high win scores and just wondered if anyone wanted to share their strategy - is it just a guess or do you have an approach to work out what the word will be? thanks in advance.

From the time I registered on this site in February of 2010 up until the middle of this year, I had one crystal ball win. Didn't give it much thought until a couple months ago. I never in a million years thought I'd ever win the crystal pyramid mini badge or the fortune teller badge, but I have now won both of them after basically applying myself after 14 years. I'm not one for the spotlight, but I have to say I'm pretty happy at the moment.

But apparently I can't count. 13 years I should have said.

Thanks for answering my question. I thought Crystal Ball would be like Who Am I? i.e. always classed as a champ once someone wins the badge. It helps to know the difference between the correct word being chosen before or after the 45-minute mark.

The Crystal Ball game is pretty much a perplexing enigma packed inside a puzzle, which is wrapped around a confusing riddle, and tied up nice and secure with a double gordian knot.

Other than that, it's not too shabby lol.

Honestly if you don't have 25 yet it's much easier now, the only issue is remembering to check at :55 which I always forget.

At least half the time the non-champs division won't have a correct answer by :55, you get the first three letters and you can fire off five guesses. Repeat that a few times and you should get a win.

Does anyone know how you can tell how many times you've won in the past? I know the system keeps track, but I just wasn't sure if it says the number anywhere.

On the Crystal Ball's home page, scroll down the right side, to 'Most Wins (top 100). If you click on '(top 100)', you can see every word you've correctly guessed, in order.

You could also try the challenge page for the Fortune Teller badge. I have the badge, so there is no need for a count, and I cannot remember if the count was shown prior to receiving the badge.

Gold members can also see their win total in their GM Ranks tab.
