What are TY Friends?  Something like Ice Breath friends? One of my friends has it by her or his name

It just generally means Thank You Friends for gifts recieved.

Thank you. I just could not figure it out.

TF is spot on as usual!! 
TY is an acronym for Thank You.

In MC Lingo we have so many acronyms that we use it is bound to be confusing!! 
Most especially next to our Game Name Avatars where space is very limited!! 
TY for the excellent question as well as being a wonderful Game Friend!!

I have great success playing puzzles I always use the same pattern right hand then left then right . If you get the first item you selected take it . This absolutely true if you have used your free play. I can finish a puzzle in less than a minute to get some objects in this game you have to find 5 or 6 items and use them to get the object and there is no guarantee but with the puzzle you always get the prize. I have a complete set of objects and I think if would taken forever to do with out using the puzzle.

Hi Ive tried doing what your post suggests for an update. all it does is keep checking for updates. i left it searching for nearly an hour and it never did anything. on PC i do not have the fourth spring room nor do i have the current castle challenge. im getting frustrated...:( BG support will not respond to my help message and i am computer dumb so i dont know what to do.

Are you connected to the modem with an ethernet cable or by wi-fi? If you are using a wi-fi connection, try connecting to the modem with an ethernet cable.

That went over my head, and I have a vague idea what to do with computers.

Ethernet cable

For most of us, our modem is actually a combined modem/router but for some they will be separate boxes. Below is image of modem connected to router connected to computer by ethernet cables

Ethernet connections are faster and more stable than wi-fi connections and are recommended whenever you are downloading a program or having internet connection issues. 

Hope this helps.

Hello SpreeBeans

Have you been able to download games from BFG without problems? Because it sounds like your Game Manager cannot quite connect with BFG servers.

If you have been able to download games, then that can't be it, naturally. But if you are having problems then you could try this, from BFG help articles:
