Attention New and Casual Watch Players!!!

If you are a new or casual player, you may not know that there are additional points to be had which are not accessible via the "this week" tab.

If you are interested in a little bit of extra work, these points can be yours. And these points will go a long way towards a Watch win for Week 6. As an added bonus, you'll see the game's "story" unfolding.

Each item includes the name and description of the achievement, its point value, and some hints. If after reading the hints you find you need a little help, please feel free to post to the Watch forum!

There are also "easter eggs" which are pretty much unrelated to everything else. They are just plain old fun (if you are a puzzle geek...).
