iPad-4 tries, 1 star (61,940 points), NBU

Well same # tries for each but obviously did a lot better on PC. Now THAT one I remember! I could tell I was doing a decent job but I purposely never look at my score until the end because otherwise it just makes me more nervous. In fact if you're someone who gets nervous during timed levels (which is most of us, let's be real), I would suggest not looking at your score either until the end. Anyway when I passed on PC I was really surprised when I looked at my board and saw my score! It was much better than I'd even hoped for. I saw in the comments people were asking what the "secret" is to getting a better score & I'm no expert but I think the biggest thing is collecting the +5s. Cb's for sure count but they don't equal a win. For instance before my winning try, I had a game where I had 3 cb's and my score was only in the low 30k's. I think it's really a combo of creating as many cb's as possible but don't hold onto them, if you have one & it's not next to or really close to a special, just set it off with a regular color. If anything I think the best thing to do is just keep it moving with whatever you've got. So set off as many combos as possible, because cascades are what's really going to bring you those +5s and those +5 are what's going to give you a chance to bring your score up. On my iPad win, I was under 60k when the timer stopped but I had a bunch of specials (including a CB but even that alone wasn't enough to do it for me). As they kept going off, it created cascades & slowly I watched my score creep up to just a little over 60k. I actually didn't find this one to be to bad, Idk maybe I'm just getting better at timed levels because we've had so many but I honestly felt this was Somewhat Easy, and I'm sure admitting that won't make me very popular but that's really how I feel about this one. Don't get me wrong, I still am not a fan of timed levels AT ALL. But we've had ones way worse than this lately IMO. All in all, I really didn't think this one was so bad😕 But that's me. Maybe I'm becoming immune to them or something!
