Why can’t I purchase shovels using magic beans before the start of a game?

Teddee_Bear

After playing for years, I just learned that before the start of a game you are able to purchase shovels using your magic beans.  It does not do anything when I click on the shovel icon??  If I click on the other icons, it will give me the option to purchase them.  Why doesn’t anything come up when I click on the shovel icon?

Hi Teddee Bear. You can only buy shovels before the start of the game if you have 0. If you have any left (like the free one that recharges) you cannot buy more until you have used it. If I have less than 3 and am losing the level, I waste them before I quit so I can buy 3 before the start next time
