10x10 Gameplay Tips

[AARPLynne]

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. You can start by looking for patterns and symmetries, or you can try to break the problem down into smaller pieces.

Here are some tips for 10x10 offered by @smfg. What would you add to this list?

• Since this game is not timed, try out a block in several locations before placing it.
• 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. 
• Always try to leave open space for a 4-square and a 9-square, just in case. 
• Give yourself a hug when you top your previous high score!

No!

If you find it, let me know.  I was hoping for that as well!

[DebeeT762584]

I'm trying to figure this out but it seems to have no control section. Did you get a response back from your question? This is my first time using the game. 

[ColleenM395416]

No, I did not!

[DebbieE671724]

Unfortunately not!

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.

Key the light bulb before "play". It changes the background from black to white.

You may have figured out,  but when you get to the first screen after the 'ad' (hate those  !), click the light bulb icon and that will turn the screen darker.  I did it yesterday and that worked.  Then MY game froze  :-(((

How does one open this game?  Where is it?  Using the "search" box in the games page turns up "no results."  You appear to have a lot of tips for a game that does not seem to exist.

I can't even figure this game out.  Nothing happens when I click either on the gid or on a game piece, just a sound.  Why not give a video of the correct play sequence, otherwise this game is a joke.  Makes me feel dumb instead of better.

[MarieS407140]

I know, instructions are non existent..

[WendyZ608186]

You have to click on a piece and drag it to where you want it on the grid.

[sd1014]

That should be "grid".  Nobody hired me for my typing skills.😒
