I need to really get cracking with this, especially as it's the only way I can teach my Plusle Thunderbolt. It's hella tough though and mainly based on chance.

The one thing that annoys me is when I lose a match and I get sent back to lvl 1. I don't mind not progressing when I lose but to be sent back to lvl 1 for my hard work is just off-putting.

I did however, find an app that helps with chances and what the best thing to go for is if you're stuck. I feel it's justified to use if you really need it.

It's not gaurenteed to help you win but it helps in those sticky situations...

My advice for this:

Treat it as a form of logic puzzle, and make heavy use of the marking feature.

1. If the coins and mines on a row add up to 5 (such as 3 coins and 2 mines), mark that row off as 1/mine on each tile and ignore it entirely.
2. If there are zero mines on a row, flip every panel on that row. You may not get many coins out of it, but it gives you a safety net and may keep you from being sent back a level.
3. Consider impossible combinations. If there are five coins on a row but three mines, there can not be a 1-coin tile there. Thus, anything you narrow down to being a 1 or a mine there will definitely be a mine.

All of the above technique are already used, and are, really, the only way to getting any decent points.

I'd love to earn more but I can only get to lvl 5 before it gives too little logic to go on...
