So I typed this up as there seems to be a lot of questions about the rune game. I hope it helps somebody. 
The Rune Game: A guide.
By Barguestspirit
Introduction: This guide is for people who are new to wajas and need to earn those WCs for that first waja, people who don't quite understand the rune game, or anybody who needs a quick and easy way to rack up WCs for that dream waja you just saw. As a waja newbie myself, I've found the rune game to be the best way to fill my bank account.
At first, I couldn't make heads nor tails of the rune game. I just kept clicking everywhere, thinking that the runes moved around to different spots each click. I smacked myself when I realized that the runes stay in the same spots each game, which makes everything much easier.
I recommend playing the game on medium difficulty, as that is how you earn the most WCs. Hard mode actually gives you less apparently, so it's a waste of time. Why settle for 3K when you can get 9K each win?
EDIT:People have reported problems playing the rune game using certain browsers including Firefox. If you are having problems such as the game counting 2 or more clicks for 1 click, try using a different browser. Internet Explorer has been a safe bet so far, so I suggest using IE to play the rune game in.
Strategy: In order to win the most points each game (9K to be exact), you need to win the game on medium difficulty in 20 clicks. No more, no less. The game map looks like this:
The spots circled in green are the clickable spots on the map, 10 spots in all. There are 5 runes you need to find, each with a letter, spelling out WAJAS. The letters must be found in order, so first the W, than the A, and so on. If you find a letter before finding the ones before it, you will get a message telling you that you found a rune, but it isn't the one you're looking for. Remember where those letters are (meaning what spot you clicked to find them), because you will be going back for those later.
Begin the game by clicking on each spot in a methodical way. I start at the top right and go down, than left, but you can click on the spots in whatever order makes the most sense to you. Take note of where each rune is, especially the S!
There are two A's to be found. Note that the spot with the second A will not tell you anything. Normally when you click on an empty spot, it will tell you that you've found nothing, and to keep trying. When you click on the spot with the second A, they won't say anything. Remember where that spot is. Also, you can find the A's in either order, it doesn't matter.
Once you've found the W, A, and J, stop. Do you know where that S is? If not, try to find it before getting that second A. If you do know where the S is, go ahead and grab that second A. Now, if you are below 19 clicks (look under the rune game map to see how many clicks, or spots visited you have), don't get that S rune yet! You want to get the S on the 20th click. Pick any spot (besides the one hiding the S), and click on it repeatedly, keeping track of how many clicks you have until you've reached 19. Got 19 clicks? Good, snag that S! Whooohooo! 9K in the bag baby!
Now, just keep doing that until you've reached the desired amount of WCs, or until your head explodes. Whichever comes first.
