Start the game fresh. Forget what was said in the tips here. In the wood zone, go for the extra bonuses given for energy first and above all. After that, go for starting with level 3 power then extra energy. NEVER ANYWHERE in the game, go for anything that increases the chance of dropping a light stone. They stall the game and make the screen impossible. Go instead for the "huts" that dig, prevent the spread of fire and "dark stones". If you do this, the game is much more pleasurable, and you will find places where you can play a level for hours. (Particularly in the water zone). I currently have the highest score total. Believe me, I know what I am talking about. You want to spend your time on levels where obsidian stones are required as tasks. I, also, totally ignore tasks that want 6 of level 1 spells and level 2 spells. By doing them, you increase the chances of running out the timer and losing a life. My current high score is over 2,500,000. I hope you beat me!!!!!!!! Another hint is that if your gesture area is full of gestures you do not want to use, click on a gesture, then use it out of the playing field. It will totally remove that gesture without using any energy at all. Also, if you want the energy to refill rapidly, the best gesture to use is sort, then use it from the bottom of the screen to be able to play longer in that area, if you so desire. In screens where there are not a lot of obsidian stones, this will not let you score any more points, but may enable you to do a lot more mini tasks before completing the screen. Points for high scores are only obtained by tiles uncovered. Making a match of 50 of one color, will only get you 20 points if only one tile is cleared, despite what is stated elsewhere. Obsidian stone destruction is the key to high scores. Their "digging" creates new areas to score on. The above is not entirely in order, as I am typing off the top of my head, but I hope this helps. Happy gaming!!!
