I cannot complete level 485, even after watching several help videos, I cannot see how to do it.  I don’t know if I will stick with this now, I am so frustrated with it. I thought games were meant to be relaxing!

    They must have fixed it after reading the other comments because I had a blast with this level. More fun than any other level I’ve played so far.

    Hello @ahreally, Hearty Welcome to our Alpha Betty section of our friendly King Community :) 

    Yes!  Usually, when the King Studio sees that number of players of complained about a level, there are big chances that the Team tweaks those levels.  That must have happened to this level # 485 too :D  

    I am glad to hear that you have enjoyed the level! 

    Keep having fun with the game being a word wizard!  Have a wonderful day/evening!

    By the way, here is a link for you to participate in a Contest for a word puzzle for you to win some Gold Bars :+1:

    thanks for the history but I still need help playing this level

  • abe_coffeeabe_coffee Posts: 762 Game Expert

    sorry @rugcarpet1 ... I thought you were making an observation

    • this is good training for some of the levels in the 500s and beyond
    • the plates need to be blasted

    one basic approach ... plan to make 5 blasters(one for each plate)

    try to save the letter S until you can make a blaster that can hit a plate on the next move ... repeat repeat repeat

    Level 485 has defeated me also. I have looked up the help screens but my problem is this... All the screen shots I have seen are for a game where you make words. My game is find the letters to make 4 words. I can finish the level easy enough but am lucky to get 2 stars let alone 3 stars. HELP

    hi @Anita_Sudlik

    question ... do you mean level 495?

    if you like to study I found an example from 2017 when level 485 had 5 plates in 18 moves

    each plate must be blasted

    one approach ... spend most of the game playing codices and entanglers

    once the board has opened up concentrate on making blasters

    the example is on facebook ... open examples(below) in a new tab or a new window

    scroll to level 485(it is at the top today) ... click on the smaller image with 18 moves left ...then use the right arrow to step through each move

    approximate range ... 16005 will get 2 stars ... 17083 3 stars

    good luck ... have some fun blasting plates

    hi @Anita_Sudlik

    am sorry to hear it is level 495 ... find the letters is often hide-the-letters

    we are at the mercy of the tiles we are given ... it make take many tries to get 3 stars

    there are a few approaches you might try

    1) use barney ... keep hitting quit until you get a big word(10k) on the first move

    2) use Mystery Mouse to add 2 crowns at the start

    3) take advantage of blank gold tiles to get a big score(image below ... open in a new tab)

    approximate range ... 19052 will get 2 stars ... 22275 3 stars

    Abe_Coffee. Thank you. I switched to Mystery Mouse and after about 10 times got my 3 stars! Finally after a few weeks I can put this level behind me.

  • abe_coffeeabe_coffee Posts: 762 Game Expert

    congrats ... and you are welcome ... just remember that you did the heavy lifting

    every level is beatable and most are reasonable when going for 3 stars

    good luck ... have fun
