If level 142 on Alphabetty only has 12 moves now. My old score is over 27,000 with two stars. There must be a bug because with 12 moves I cannot better my old score to get that 3rd star.
Hi @Clarksville, I am not too familiar with this game so I am not able to answer you. But I will tag @QueenMia who is the Community Manager and maybe she can offer some help.
here is some info about level 142 ... 28214 will get 2 stars ... 29040 for 3 stars level 142 may be in the top 10 for levels that are difficult to get 3 stars why is that? ... 1) on Nov 29 2017 6 words were required ... 7 words are required as of Jun 19 2019 ... 2) the first time through the levels vampire barney is not available to help get a big score
one approach ... if you are at level 142 continue playing until level 365 is completed ... after completing level 365 select barney to place 3 gold tiles on the starting board ... when you get 3 stars on every level from 321-365 then the starting board will have 5 gold tiles
each gold tile will multiply the word score by 2 ... for example 3 gold tiles will multiply the word score by 8(2x2x2)
there is an example of 142 using barney ... open in a new tab or a new window ... http://www.screenshotabe.com/index.php from the example it appears that at least one word must have a score greater than 10,000 to get 3 stars
