Bejeweled Blitz - 101

Okay, so I do get a ridiculously high score, however, I do not cheat. I decided to write this so you can know my secrets, and in turn, get a really high score as well. It works out well for both of us because I get some great competition and you get to stop being pissed and nearly deleting me from your friends list just so that I am no longer beating you. Here goes.

1. Make sure you start before he says "go". At the beginning of the game, when it loads, you can actually start before the actual start. This gives you a few extra seconds and since this is a timed game, a few extra seconds means a lot of points. When you make one single move that breaks 12 or more jewels, this is when you get a multiplier. This brings me to my next thing...

2. Play from the bottom. When you play from the bottom, more sequences will fall into place, resulting in more multipliers.

3. Multipliers. The most important part of the game. This is where the points are. Break the multipliers as soon as you can. This is the ticket to a really high score, not to mention, on the new BB, you get coins for each multiplier that you have broken.

4. Speed. You get bonus points for speed. Making special gems is important as well, but I personally feel that speed outranks that. You will start to hear a crackling fire when you are getting a lot of combos in a row. Continue quickly and the board will turn orange. For a limited time, when it is orange, every combo you make will explode like a special gem. This is a great time to make multipliers, so again, make sure to look for combos and the bottom.

5. Hypercubes. try to use them on a color that has a lot of special jewels, or use them on the color of a multiplier if you have one. Again, multipliers are KEY.

6. The new BB has 'boosts' and the ones I use are the three on the right. Scrambler, +5 Seconds, and Free Multiplier. Once you get 16,000 coins, you can use all three. Save up and use them all three at once.

7. The sounds is designed to stress you, so turn down the volume. This may help.

Lucky you, the scores reset today, as it is Tuesday. This means that my 570,000+ will be gone and you will have a chance to rule the leader board. Cheers!
