Well, I see how this is going to go. First Game: 21,200 and I thought I was really clicking fast. ---

Well, I see how this is going to go. First Game: 21,200 and I thought I was really clicking fast. Second game: 49,900 I discovered something. You don’t have to click on one jewel then the other. You just have to click on the first one and then drag to the second one! It’s a little fast for me that way. ---

High score so far: 80,500. I got a 2x very early, followed by a long chain. But that score is still only in the highest 30.8%. ---

My high score so far is 232,200. I average about 70,000, get over 100,000 about 20% of the time. Gads, I am going to end up hating this game. Slee ---

Are you thinking of Sutek’s Tomb? I rarely let a day go by without playing that one. My husband makes fun of me for spending so much time on Neopets, but they do have some great games. ---

> [@Wheelz](#): > > What other stupid little games can you _not stop playing???_ ::sheepish: Zuma. Hadn’t played it for years but loaded it up again about a month ago and I’ve played 128 times. If I could find the original Double Trouble that came with my first computer, I’d be playing that instead. ---

I have to say, scoring \>50K and being told that I’m in the top 48% of all games is humbling. The tip about being able to drag, instead of clicking on both jewels, is illuminating. I’ll definitely try that. My biggest hurdle is the Oooh, PRETTY factor. I know that as soon as I make a click, I should stop looking at it and be scanning for my next click. But it’s nearly impossible for me to force myself to do that: my eyes want to stay watching the pretty pretty graphics as the jewels blink out of existence. And my scores therefore suck. ---

Okay–dragging instead of clicking on each jewel makes a world of difference–essentially halves the time it takes me to make a move. THanks, **Enright**! ---

My best score is 85k so improvement needed. When I close my eyes I see gems… ---

I found it easy to quit playing Bejeweled Blitz so often. Of course, that’s because I’m now strung out on PathWords. ---

Do you know how many times I have hit 53 or 54 out of 55 on that last damn screen!!! :mad::mad::mad: I checked out Boomshine yesterday, and at least it kept me away from Bejeweled Blitz. For 2 hours. ---

I’ve been lured away from Bejeweled Blitz… by this silly little game on my iPhone where you run a beauty salon. I played it for three hours yesterday. ---

It’s not gone…actually, it’s more “there” now than it used to be. Before today, they’d reset the scores every week or so, and your records weren’t recorded. Now you can click the star to the upper right of your name and see five weeks worth of score history. ---
