Yikes! Not a fan of this one. 12 tries, 3 stars (261,200 points),1 move remaining, NBU. This one is Very Hard IMO. Especially as I tried it on 3 devices (PC, iPad and mobile) and it was difficult on all 3. Normally I'll find a level easier on at least one device (not necessarily easy but easier) but that wasn't the case here. I started out on PC because I realized if I don't play the 1st level from the new episode before it comes out on iPad/mobile all my +3 moves just go to the last episode I've already finished. So I had a whole bunch of +3 moves for 1430 even though I passed it already. I did get a couple for this level but they didn't do me any good regardless (just wanted to pass on that info about the +3 moves for anyone interested). Anyway I was hoping, like last episode or the one before, I just was having trouble on PC. But when I switched to iPad I had just as much trouble. Finally passed on mobile but pretty sure it was just coincidence. I didn't find any strategy that worked for me unless you count making specials and getting lucky with timing for setting them off a strategy. When I passed I started out early on with a wrapped/striped combo at the bottom of the board and towards the end I was fortunate to be able to make a CB/striped which is what I think made the most difference despite the fact that there weren't many stripes on the board. Apparently it was enough!
