Has everyone else got this in their games? The extra moves offered after failing a level seem to got up in whopping big steps now. I just hit a win streak blocker in my Winter cup bash at level 5260 and by the time I had used up all my lives plus the one extra the game tempts me with for free I am being offered 45 extra moves! I am finding this really helpful during the competition, especially if I've got timed starting boosters enabled. It helps greatly to speed things up, because you know you'll have to pay to play eventually.
Oh, and while I'm here, I met another Sunflower in my game just now, which I found really sweet. She is called Poppy and hasn't passed any levels for a week, but I've sent her a friendship request.
