    <description>&lt;P&gt;I've not found grouping colors to be an effective strategy, but counting the number of squares/blocks you can drag into the grid is critical to finding the best fit (and keeps those neurons firing on all cylinders).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example you could already have a total of ten (10) squares from stringing the three placement blocks together - like two sets of three squares and one set of four equaling ten - so if you have an empty vertical/horizontal space of 10 squares to line them up rather than plug them into an existing group of squares (if that makes any sense...) you can just drag and drop them into that open alignment space.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I believe some individuals are able to achieve high scores by taking breaks (i.e. not closing or exiting the game) thereby increasing their score with each additional "same session" of the game that they play.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There is no timer, you're not obligated to complete the game in one sitting, and you can keep it open in the background (hit pause - II) while you perform other tasks on your phone/computer/tablet and then return to the game to pick up where you left off. I also think that the more you play the game, the easier it is for you to recognize or remember patterns and how to complete them effectively/efficiently - like when you have two sets of 5/five vertical/horizontal blocks, you immediately may look for an open set of 10 vertical or horizontal squares to place them in.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So the best recommendation is to stay focused and take time to total (vertically and horizontally) the number of placement squares offered; but when you feel yourself losing your edge, then put the game on pause and take breaks as needed, and realize you may not be able to place all three blocks to equal 10 - but sometimes you can. And always place the largest blocks first if possible (always try and leave space for the 9-square and 5-square groupings). And one last item - the Daily Top Score leader board resets every 24 hours (?midnight eastern time zone?) and that may impact whether or not a lower score tops the board for a bit - but you'll have to determine when based on your time zone/location. Hope this helps and good luck!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="Text__Base___2u2yv2hS Text__size-sm___1fVtzsI2 GameDescription__descriptionText___1x-0eec6 GameDescription__visible___1b8ibIp7"&gt;A 10x10 puzzle is a great way to test your problem-solving skills. With just 100 squares to work with, you'll need to be creative and use logic to solve the puzzle. &lt;/SPAN&gt;You can start by looking for patterns and symmetries, or by breaking the problem down into smaller pieces.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;LI-WRAPPER&gt;&lt;/LI-WRAPPER&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Here are some tips for&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgames.aarp.org%2Fgames%2F10-by-10&amp;amp;data=04%7C01%7CSMoreland%40aarp.org%7Ca385a137eaf249fcbc1b08d8b19d3f2b%7Ca395e38b4b754e4493499a37de460a33%7C0%7C0%7C637454636224815957%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;amp;sdata=WpmrD9R2SDJ92sS1AJdcqHGfZih4Dv4o8WY9rffP2tg%3D&amp;amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;10x10&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/A&gt; offered by user&amp;nbsp;smfg&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; What would you add to this list?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Since this game is not timed, try out a block in several locations before placing it.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Clear as many lines as you can in each turn before placing anything else. This will open up spaces, boost your score, and give you options.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Always try to leave open space for a 4-square and a 9-square, just in case.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Give yourself a hug when you top your previous high score!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;How does one open this game? &amp;nbsp;Where is it? &amp;nbsp;Using the "search" box in the games page turns up "no results." &amp;nbsp;You appear to have a lot of tips for a game that does not seem to exist.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Did you change the appearance of the game, or did something change in my settings? The background is now very pale, making it much harder to see open squares and spaces (for example that there's an empty row at top or bottom. I was an avid player bur rarely play now because it's too hard to see.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Can you rotate the pieces.&amp;nbsp; I read something about rotating pieces, but there don't seem to be any controls on the AARP version.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I can't even figure this game out.&amp;nbsp; Nothing happens when I click either on the gid or on a game piece, just a sound.&amp;nbsp; Why not give a video of the correct play sequence, otherwise this game is a joke.&amp;nbsp; Makes me feel dumb instead of better.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You have to click on a piece and drag it to where you want it on the grid.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You may have figured out,&amp;nbsp; but when you get to the first screen after the 'ad' (hate those&amp;nbsp; !), click the light bulb icon and that will turn the screen darker.&amp;nbsp; I did it yesterday and that worked.&amp;nbsp; Then MY game froze&amp;nbsp; :-(((&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have been playing fior some time and my high score is 8335. This after I put the game on hold after an hour or so and come back(a few times ) later to continue. I can not believe that some players can reach scores of 25000 to 30000. What is the secret - how long does it take to reach such a high score,. Seems impossible to me??&amp;gt;?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I always like to see a game played first - visual learner. Wish these games had that feature. I tried to play a few different games - no idea what I was doing !!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just Saying&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;As far as I can tell this is the same game as block champ. fill a line up and it goes away for points. Game pieces even appear to be the same shapes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
