How do I get 3 stars on level 115?

I think the game is glitchy here. It doesn’t always credit me for left over moves. Or the tiles with crowns left at the end change but don’t explode. And the scoring seems off somehow. Can you please unglitch this and level 142. Same problem!

thanks

    hi @lacie

    levels 115 and 142 are tough without glitches 

    I reviewed both levels in Oct 2019 ... there were no glitches then

    however ... there may be glitches today 

    ... I will be happy to take another look at both and try to verify the glitches

    ..............................................

    October results(without glitches) ... without using barney

    level 115 ... 45 tries to get 3 stars(one day Oct 20th)

    level 142 ... 98 tries to get 3 stars(Oct 20th to Oct 27th)

    ..............................................

    115 ... 23551 will get 2 stars ... 23977 3 stars

    142 ... 28214 will get 2 stars ... 29040 for 3 stars

    @lacie ... we need some feedback

    are you still having problems with left over moves and crowns?

    if so, I suspect you are running a "bad" version of ABS

    @Crazy Cat Lad and I are unable to see these problems

    we need your help

    are you able to create a video? ... if so then we can send proof to a higher authority

    all we need is a video of your last move that demonstrates the anomolies

    here is an example(unfortunately there are no problems showing)

    hi @lacie

    I feel psychic today ... I had a vision that the odd behavior on 115 & 142 went away.

    let's get back to the title of your discussion "How do I get 3 stars on level 115?".

    here are some approaches:

    1) if you are not past level 365 ... you can beat you head against the wall and keep trying for 3 stars on 115 & 142

    ... it can happen but will take many attempts on each

    2) get 3 stars on levels 321-365 then use barney on levels 115 & 142


    note: with 3 stars on 321-365 you start each game with 5 gold tiles when you select barney ... otherwise you start with 3 gold tiles

    each gold tile will double the score of a word ... for example ... a word worth 1000 points would be worth 8000 points if there are 3 gold tiles in the word( the multiplier is 2x2x2=8 )

    test results for today ... 115 ... 142 ... using gameroom

    was unable to verify your glitches @lacie

    however ... sometimes weird versions get out there and you may have one of those

    we can ask @Crazy Cat Lad if he can switch you to another server 

    until then ... would you like to be a sleuth?

    one experiment ... try playing ABS using gameroom

    you can be a super sleuth ... capture the last move in a video and post the link here

    hi. I don't know how to create a video, but I could grab a few screen shots. Thanks. I tried playing from the online server, but I started from level one. I usually play on an iPad. I'm continuing my game and will take your advice and try to get Barney to help me.

    Thank you both so much for trying to help me.
