1. Be fast. 10 points for every second of time remaining (if you match all tiles). I regularly finish with 3 minutes plus remaining. 2. Get bonuses (penguins). I know 10 of the 11 bonuses. The first 5 are time bonuses: match 2 tiles in 4 seconds and so on up to 6 tiles in 12 seconds. You must get the time bonuses at the beginning. The other 5 are: 4 of the same tile consecutively, 8 tiles in a row from one "suit", the 4 teddy bears in a row, 4 tiles consecutively on one "tower" (I don't know how they define "tower"), & all the books in a row. That means ALL books- tiles with one book & tiles with 2.
3. It makes a difference which tiles you match at the start of the game. I won't elaborate except to say that the ideal start would be the 4 teddy bears.

So you are saying that you need to do high value matches as early as possible? Always take a high value match before a low value?
