alphabetty level 485 has defeated me. help please

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

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
