Maximize your score in Jewel Shuffle

Looking to maximize your score in Jewel Shuffle? Give these tips a try!

 

  1. Match your jewels on the lower rows when possible. Since new jewels drop from above, the longer the jewels “travel” from top to bottom, the higher your chances are of getting auto-matches and earning free points.
  2. Use the magnifying glass Help button if you are not sure you’re making a good move. Clicking on the Help button several times displays all possible moves it does not have any score penalties.
  3. Bonus glowing jewels and Brilliant Jewels can be game-changers. The best strategy is to save them until you are running out of moves and then match them to clear more space. This will automatically create new move opportunities.

      Oh, I get it now.  I thought jewel shuffle was a new scam going on.

        I absolutely love Jewel Shuffle!  I think I’m addicted to it😳 My highest score was over a million and was so proud of myself.  Trying to beat it tho.

            I love this game, it trains our brain to a much greater extent,
            than it initially seems.
            If you want to 'fight' the game for the best possible result,
            here are my observations and conclusions.

            The most basic - the goal is not to make a move that
            gives maximum points, your primary goal is to complete the current
            level and keep playing. This means that you should always strive for
            to have at least 3 spinning diamonds (your second life).


            (1) look carefully at the entire board, don't make the first move you've spotted

            (2) actively look for opportunities to create diamonds unless you have 3 or more
            (they form spontaneously very rarely, you have to help in creating them)

            (3) only use diamonds when there is no other move possible
            (unless the only possible move makes the explosive piece threatening
            your diamonds)

            (4) if not (2), always make the possible move closest to the top
            (matching jewels at the bottom first possibly destroys a match above)

            (5) if you have 2+ diamonds, never create explosive jewels, they are a threat
            for your diamonds (kill your extra life)

            (6) If you have a diamond(s) and 'explosive' fire the second as soon as possible
            if only this will not trigger a diamond

            (7) if you have 2 different moves in the same area, make first the one which
            won't destroy the other one

            (8) vertical match usually gives slightly better chance to create next match than
            horizontal

            (9) train your brain to predict the distribution of jewels after making a move,
            after a few weeks it's not too difficult

            An example of actively creating a diamond.

            Board nr. 1
            planty of possible moves but after short analize I see I have already
            4 white gems (in red circle) on right positions to create a diamond, if
            I move the yelow guy might be the missing white appears where I need it.

            Board nr. 2
            Bad luck, the white gem dropped down just one row below, but it's still
            a chance, moving the green to the right makes top white to drop one row
            down and I still have four whites in a possible diamond creation arragement
            (as on board nr.3)

            Board nr. 3
            the way to deliver missing white gem at the top right corner is to move
            the brown (bottom right corner) as marked by the arrow

            Board nr. 4
            Good luck this time, all 5 white jewels are on correct positions to create
            a diamond in the very next move

            Of course I'm not a theoretical guru of this game and I make mistakes
            as all of us, you can safetly suspect there are mistakes in my reasoning 🙂

            Few examples when you have to decide what move to do first:
            example 1.
            If you match the pink jewels (A line) you will destroy the
            blue match (line B), so the correct sequence is B first, then A

            example 2.
            you can move the blue gem to left (A), or right (B), the first option
            creates additional match of blue's (C)

            example 3
            you can move the white gem either left (A) or down (B), the second option (B)
            moves the blue gem one row down and creates additional match (blue gems)
