    • the move stealers blow up in 2 4 & 6 moves
    • plate #2 needs to be blasted
    • general approach ... the move stealers must be playable ... or quit
    • a successful approach ... Kim used 4 blasters
    • a two blaster approach ... break the rocks around plate #1 ... blast #2 ... make a word at #3 ... blast #4
    • ideal blaster combination ... two 4-way diagonal blasters in the center at the same time to hit #1 #3 and #2 #4 in one move
    • an ideal 8-way blaster directly above plate #1 can hit all 4 plates

    • 13 words ... in 19 moves ... 21 moves(Mar 9) ... 23 moves(Mar 14) ... 28 moves(May 13) ... 30 moves(May 18 2020)
    • good news ... the 12-letter word is now an 11-letter word(Mar 6 2018)
    • more good news ... the 11-letter word is now an 10-letter word(May 13 2018)
    • you may want to start with an artifact that provides extra move(s)
    • this example used an artifact to remove exclamator(s)
    • flood the board with crowns
    • one approach ... go after the rocks when making crowns
    • another approach ... ignore the rocks when making crowns ... go after every exlamator in the lower part of the board
    • try to save crowns for the 11-letter word ... avoid using crowns to make 5-letter words(Michael)
    • try to create crowns with the exclamators early in the game ... many(not all) exclamators need to be playable early
    • if only 3-letter words can be played .. select one that ends with an exclamator
    • blast a trap or two along the way
    • Michael suggests using a blaster to hit crowns when making an 11-letter word
    • one example ... a 6-letter word has 3 crowns and a blaster ... it is now a 9 letter-word
    • ... if the blaster hits 2 crowns it becomes an 11-letter word
    • Eugene noticed: crowns that are blasted add to a word's length AND most are returned to the board
    • the best way to make a longer word is by blasting crowns as opposed to having crowns in the shorter word
    • try to do the final shuffle with a least 2 moves left ... so you can tweak the board one last time
    • a final tweak ... play isolated crowns ... they might be relocated to an area of the board with a large word
    • 3 stars are possible when using an artifact that removes 2 exclamators
    • 20856 will get 2 stars ... 21571 3 stars

    • drop 4 chunks ... in 21 moves(Mar 10 2018) ... 23 moves(Mar 24)
    • 24 moves(May 14 2018) ... 27 moves(May 9 2019)
    • drop 4 chunks ... in 28 moves(May 18 2020)
    • you may want to start with an artifact that removes move stealer(s)
    • other artifacts to consider ... extra moves ... remove the trap
    • the move stealers blow up in 12 moves
    • warning ... the trap can be in the way almost every move
    • let's do some math
      1. the rocks need 10 hits ... 6 moves minumum with vertical blasters(one move to create the first blaster
      2. ... 5 moves to play the blasters)...
      3. the move stealer(s) need 4 moves ... 2 moves to create vertical blasters ... 2 moves to play the blasters
      4. that makes 10 moves to get the first chunk ... best case
      5. the other 3 chunks ... 6 moves
      6. best case ... moves 16 ... that leaves 7 moves for crowns
      7. in reality, however, the 7 moves may be consumed while breaking rocks
    • approach ... get as many vertical blasters as possible ... and don't forget about the move stealers
    • crowns will hit the tile or rock directly below a chunk
    • a blaster on the first move is almost a must ... then blast the trap, if possible
    • note ... was able to win by removing the trap with an artifact ... and then losing 4 moves ... go figure
    • more ... betty never gave good tiles when move stealers were removed(20 tries)
    • 11250 will get 2 stars ... 12560 3 stars

    • 3 plates ... in 18 moves ... 19 moves(Nov 10 2018) ... 20 moves(May 9 2019) ... 22 moves(May 18 2020)
    • you may want to start with an artifact that provides extra move(s)
    • this level is not nice
    • the move stealers blow up in 10 moves
    • consider the quit button if a move stealer is not blasted right away
    • one approach:
      1. blast 2 rocks and a move stealer ... repeat for the other 2 rocks and the move stealer beneath them
      2. try to remove the rocks on the right hand side first
      3. when the rocks are gone ... try to position a diagonal blaster to hit plate #1
      4. get lucky and play a tile adjacent to plate #2 when blasting plate #1
      5. there may be enough moves even if 2 move stealers blow up
    • plan B ... blast EVERYTHING
    • there is a one-star minimum score required to end the game after the plates are gone ... 2510
    • 6960 will get 2 stars ... 7050 3 stars
