19 tries, 2 stars (103,320 points), NBU. This is BS. I'm still traveling so have no access to my PC but if I had I would've passed ages ago... I had over 60k many, many times. Oh & we have 5 less seconds on iPad/mobile too to add insult to injury 😤 Beyond annoying, unfair, and ridiculous. As for how to pass without boosters, I found the most helpful thing was to just keep things moving as much as possible. The more the board is cleared, the more +5s will come down and it's ALL about the +5s as far as I can tell. Match them ASAP and as I've mentioned in other timed levels, wraps are really your friend here. Along with clearing space on the board for more +5s to come down, they will also take out any +5s anywhere near them. If you start getting into a rhythm, many of the +5s will start matching themselves due to cascades or because they're near a wrap. Cascades is actually the word I was looking for. You want to get a cascade going & don't let it stop. In my passing/winning board I had 2 or 3 +5s on the board at pretty much all times because if you manage to get a good cascade, and quickly collect the ones already there, more will quickly follow. Also of course, make cb's at any chance you get but don't worry too much about what you match it with, unfortunately with the new way wraps behave with a CB, that combo won't do much for you in the way of points. When I made a CB I'd very quickly scan the board for any +5s that needed collecting and if I could, match the CB to that color. Otherwise just match to any color, particularly dominant ones to keep the cascades going. I didn't find leaving the +5s to turn into wraps helpful at all, personally. Not for this level. That's all I can think of right now, oh last but not least, I've also shared before that I never look at my score until the game's over. I usually have a feeling when I'm going to pass but if I looked at my score for one it would break my concentration & I'd also be a nervous wreck. I mean more of a nervous wreck. Anyway, I hope something I shared helped someone else. I may play this one when I get back home on PC, to really compare. But regardless, on iPad/mobile I vote this one to be Very Hard(bordering on Insanely Hard).
