I'd like to start a thread to hold everyone's special tips for winning this game so we can help each other get better at this game.

I'll go first.  My tip for winning this game is to try to remove as many tiles that are on top of other tiles first.  The reason for this is it gives you the opportunity to see where tiles are located so you can plan your strategy accordingly.  An example of planning ahead is when you see that there are two of the same tiles next to each other which usually creates a barrier or jam to other tiles.  It is usually best to try to find the other two matches to these tiles so you can use them to break this jam. 

I hope this tip helps you!  Please add to this thread with your tips!

Look Forward!!

Look what happens when you pick a tile a way, always think a couple of moves ahead! So you don't get stuck

Thanks for tyhe tips!

Don't forget that you have an "undo" button which will undo your last move.  Use this to your advantage to look under tiles and then simply undo the move if you don't like it.  If you are playing the web game, keep in mind that you only can undo the most recent move.

thx for the tips

High score winners please respond!  Help us newbies out.  Post some tips on how to help us get better scores in this game.  I can never get past winning two games in a row.

The only tip I can think of is that I try to remove 1 tile from a top pile (stacked piles) & 1 from a side pile (like a row of tiles)during each turn. I try not to remove the most obvious matches because I tend to get stuck further along in the screen if I have. I also don't use the tiles that are kind of set off to the sides & are not blocking other tiles until I'm pretty far into the screen. Hope this helps you all!

I believe that you can win every screen * that if you just play it right you can possibly win every single time. I am not positive that this is true but I think it is. Good luck to you!

not only try to get rid of the stuff on top first, but also long rows, otherwise you may be stuck with a tile that you need in the middle of a row with no way to get to it.

first go for the tiles that are piled higher and the long rows.  Chances are more likely you'll get farther ahead this way than you would if you started getting rid of the piles that are only 2 or 3 high.  Don't worry about your time bonus.  Take a few seconds to give your board a good look.  I'd rather get to the next board with a low time bonus than not get to the next board at all.  Also you don't necessarily have to start with the first board.  Go through them and see which one you're most likely to clear and start with that one.  I hope this little bit of info helps.

I pick a certain screen that I start out with and work my way through it, take a look and click on the top layers first, and get rid of long chains, like everyone said. You don't want to get stuck with two or three piles standing at the end. Then reshuffle when you need to clear the few piles left so that you aren't left with a small pile  you can't clear to win. Takes practice, not that I have done too great, Got to the fourth board.

How do you reshuffle on the web game, when I hit reshuffle it tells me it's only on the downloaded super game???

To my knowledge, reshuffle only works on the downloaded version of the game.  I get so frustrated playing this game sometimes, but am surely addicted to it nonetheless! 

-You can always pause the game - just click the "End Game" button. Don't worry - it won't end your game - a screen just pops up to ask you if you really want to quit. And then when you're done "pausing", just click "No" and jump right back in.

-Start with a layout with the greatest number of unstacked or edge tiles - this will allow you to get rid of several pieces quickly.
