Dear Ms. Gemstone,
I play Bejeweled Blitz. If you have a row that has almost 5 matching gems in a row with only the center gem missing, should you try to save that "set up" for a possible chance at a hyper cube? I suppose that would only be if it were a horizontal pattern. I always feel that I'm wasting the pattern to drag one of those gems to make a match of 3.
Thank you, Sophie H.
Hi Sophie,
Because Bejeweled Blitz is a one-minute game, my advice is not to go for the hypercube setup.
The reason is that your mind will be working with that setup and missing other potential moves as the timer ticks down to zero.
The way I view potential hypercubes in Bejeweled Blitz is to take advantage of them if they present themselves easily, but not to go out of the way to create them.
If you were playing the regular game of Bejeweled 2, you would be wasting the pattern to create a 3-gem match, but if you're playing Blitz, it's better to take the 3-gem match and not waste the time.
