Hey! I know this might have been asked but I didn't see it (lots to read through) I was wondering if there was any correlation between winning a trophy and having the drop help on or off? I really want the trophy and with 20+ wins and still no trophy I'm looking for any way to better my chances. Thanks!!

I don't know if there have been any actual statistics, but I've won all of mine with the drop help on..

Thanks so much I was playing with it on but someone had said they played with it off and won and I was just wondering figured I'd ask.

Now, I cannot see if completing the challenge will give me a token and I catch myself looking at the token count after each challenge to see if I received another one. This is really slowing me down, because I should be looking at the blocks that are coming next. I was wondering if this is happening to anyone else (I cleared my cache and cookies and I am using Internet Explorer)?

Good luck getting a trophy everyone!

I could have written your exact post - the same thing has happened to me - it's extremely bothersome!! I can't believe that an update would mess up a perfectly working game.

Thanks for the tips, I am working really hard to at least complete the game first. I have gotten pretty close though!

[prettyirishgirl]

I'm having that glitch too. I'm also having an issue where it will say that the challenge is complete and not do anything * no clear extra rows and not give me a token either

[EXOTERIC]

So - is everyone seeing the challenge prizes the whole game(lines/chips/points)???
Or do they disappear after you do the first challenge of the game?! ???

Hi everyone - I posted a poll to figure out if this is widespread = please take a second to vote!!

This info is great! I was wondering why I wasn't getting bonus chips when I won the challenge and came looking for the answer. I found it here! I didn't realize that there were different prizes that could be awarded for the challenges. Guess I was focusing too hard on the falling pieces to read the details of the challenges LOL! I also didn't know that there were only 12 levels. I get to level 12 pretty regularly and then die/give up. Now that I know I am so close to the end of the game, I will keep trying. Thanks!

I never use the "drop help" because it confused me, and I won the trophy after my first try. I don't think it factors in at all to whether or not you win a trophy.

I haven't read this thread yet, so sorry if this is a repeat. Here's my tips on how to get the bonus chips.

I like to keep the column on the far right empty.

Keep a long blue block in the hold box by pressing the space bar. When you see "Clear Exactly 4 Lines At Once", press the space bar to switch to the long blue block and put it on the far right column.

I keep my blocks lop-sided (see picture below), so it's ready to clear 3 lines at once when needed. The reason I always keep the far right column empty is so that I know I need a GREEN L-shaped block to clear 3 lines at once. As soon as I see I need to clear 3 lines, I drop the other blocks quickly to get to the green L-shaped block.

I ignore the other bonuses. This makes my final score pretty low, but that's fine with me.
