I compete with friends and some family. Well, something fishy is going on. Not monumental, but they all get over 150,000. They say you can reduce the number of colors and the background color for better viewing. Is this true. Help from the black sheep of the family.

There is no legal way to do this. If your family and friends are reducing the number of colors of gems, then it is done illegally.

My only question is, what kind of fun is that? It doesn't make sense to me.

I have used game cheats in the past. When I had a Nintendo, I got a Magin Boy, but I was playing with others who had the same advantages in the game. Wanting to take advantage of a cheat when your fellow Facebook friends got their high scores through practice and skill is like taking a taxi to the end of a marathon so you can finish first. It only makes that person a loser.

You make it sound simple to use the multiples, but I get them to match sometimes but not others. I add it to the middle or end but there has to be a better explaination of just how you use the multiple.

You are absolutely right - it's not always easy to get the multipliers to match. But it's a one-minute game, and if the game isn't going the way you'd like, you can stop it and start over without having your score entered into your statistics.

One thing I did notice, though, is that if you can't match a multiplier, and you get a second one, the second one is generally easier to match, and after that the first one also becomes more easy to match.
