I had been doing up to about a hundred entries a day myself... I wonder if ITV are cutting back on comps now because we are winning so many of the prizes? I do hope not!


The dates above mostly refer to when the winner was notified and posted the news, since I don't usually have the date for which the actual comp was won.

My top tips for speeding up Re:Captcha are:

* Ignore three-letter words
* Ignore anything with digits in it
* Ignore the space and any other punctuation
* Refresh to avoid typing anything very long or particularly hard to read

Share and enjoy... Any more to add, anyone?
