We love our players, and the Daily Spin is one of the ways we show it!  Just by launching the Bejeweled Blitz for iOS app, you can win free Coins with no more effort than a single swipe of a finger.  

How often can I spin?

You can play Daily Spin once for free per day. This free Daily Spin is reset at 10pm Pacific Standard Time.

You can also purchase additional spins through iTunes.  Simply click GET SPINS after your free Daily Spin!  

If you already left that screen, just open the Options menu by tapping on the Up Arrow icon at the bottom of the game's Main Menu:

Then tap the tab labelled Daily Spin:

Then tap GET SPINS to purchase extra spins:

Once you've purchased your additional spins, you will see the count of your remaining spins appear under the button:

Tapping the button will use one spin at a time, and the number will decrease by one with each use.

How do I claim my Coins from my Daily Spin?

Your Coins are awarded automatically. 

Can I share my Coins with friends?

At this time, Daily Spin winnings cannot be shared from the iOS app.  If you plan to share Coins, you will want to run your Daily Spin through Facebook in your browser rather than on your iOS device.

Boosts are special power-ups that you can purchase using Coins. They each last for three games and you can use up to three Boosts at a time.

		The Mystery Gem boost places a random special gem on the board at the start of the match.  Get a headstart on your game off with a flame gem, star gem, or hypercube!
		Detonator adds a button in the lower left corner of the board that can be pressed to explode all special gems and multipliers at once!  This boost can be used once per game.  Choose wisely when to detonate!
		Scrambler places a button at the lower right corner of the board that can be used to mix up the gems when you're having trouble finding a match!  This boost can be used twice per game.
		The +5 seconds boost adds five seconds to your time.  Five seconds can feel like a long time when you are using it to make extra matches and earn more points!
		The Bonus Multiplier starts you off with a x2 multiplier gem at the opening of the game.  Match it quickly to start reaping the scoring benefits and hurrying toward your next multiplier!

How do I choose my Boosts?

At the beginning of each game, you will see the Boost Select screen. From here you can see how many Boosts you have remaining from previous purchases, add or remove new Boosts, and add Coins if you don't have enough to use your selected Boosts.

Will my Boosts automatically refill when they're empty?

If your Boosts run out during a session of Bejeweled Blitz, by default they will automatically refill as long as you have enough Coins to pay for them. When you leave and start a new session your Boost selection will not auto-refill from a previous session (same thing if you switch to a different computer, user profile, or Facebook user account).

You can select whether or not you want Boosts to auto-refill on the Options screen. Just click the box to toggle auto-renew on or off.

The Bejeweled Blitz app is a free iTunes download to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, and it comes with 50,000 free Bejeweled Blitz Coins to get you started!  

Bejeweled Blitz for iOS puts fewer screen taps than ever between you and your next minute of gem-swapping joy!  Okay, it's really just one or two taps fewer than previous versions, but still, those are valuable seconds you can use to run your Daily Spin right there in the app!

What features are included in Bejeweled Blitz for iOS?

First of all, we've got plenty of updates already in the works, so if you don't see your favorite features listed below, don't worry.  We want to make this the ultimate Bejeweled Blitz app, so we'll keep adding and improving!  But for now, the game features include:

• Daily Spin (yes, right there in the app!)
• Sharing high scores and Rare Gems to Facebook
• Offline mode with full functionality as of version 1.2!
• Your first 50,000 Coins free!
• Coins purchasing through iTunes for fast and easy reloads
• Gorgeous graphics (even on the iPad)!!!

I can't see my Ranks, Levels, and Experience Points in the App!  

The game is connecting to Facebook, so don't worry!, your Ranks, Levels, and XP are still accumulating and being recorded.  When you next visit Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook, you will see the updated Rank, Level, and XP you've earned while playing on iOS.  But rather than waste valuable screen space, we have decided to give you a full-screen game board on your device!

I can't rotate my game to landscape view!

For greater flexibility with future updates, we have at this time removed the landscape option from Bejeweled Blitz.  We may look into restoring it in the future, but there is no current plan in place to do so.

What if I already have the original Bejeweled 2+Blitz app?  

You will need to download the new app in order to play Bejeweled Blitz.  It won't replace the Bejeweled 2+Blitz app, and you can still choose to launch Bejeweled Blitz either through its own icon or through the Bejeweled 2 menu, but the new app must be installed.  It's essentially a free upgrade to the new version that's faster, prettier, and packed with great features, plus lots more to come!

When you next launch your Bejeweled 2+Blitz app, you will see that the "Play Bejeweled Blitz" icon invites you to "Get Bejeweled Blitz!"  Simply tap that icon to download the new app.  

I can't seem to launch the new app through the original app!  What's wrong?

If your original Bejeweled 2+Blitz app has not been updated in recent months to the most current version, then it will not be compatible with the new app.  Since the original app has been removed from the App Store at this time, there is no way to update it.  You will still be able to launch the original app to play Bejeweled 2!  However, the new Bejeweled Blitz standalone app must be launched separately rather than through the Bejeweled 2+Blitz menu.

Rare Gems are rare and beautiful gems which you can find and harvest by playing Bejeweled Blitz. Each Rare Gem has its own unique gameplay effect!

Moonstone:

The Moonstone splinters into three fragments and lands in your game board as a trio of Star Gems to start you off!  It's like Mystery Gem times three, without the mystery!

Cat's Eye:

After your Last Hurrah has rewarded you for any special gems you had left on the board, Snackers will appear with eyes ablaze to help you score even higher!  His multiplier is triple your final multiplier in the game, and each blast from his laser eyes is as powerful as a flame gem detonation!  Snackers will rescue a lackluster game or send a great one into the stratosphere!

Phoenix Prism:

The Phoenix Prism captures the light reflected from all the gems on the board, giving it a beautiful rainbow shine. Due to this unique interplay of light and color, the prisms are Wild Card gems, able to be swapped to any nearby pair of gems to create an intense chain reaction, each prism causing a diagonal line of gems to explode.

The Phoenix Prism comes in batches of six gems, but only one gem can shine at any given time! Once you match your first prism, you will see the next light up within moments. Match it quickly to bring out the third! If you don’t use all six within the minute available, don’t worry; you’ll see any remaining prisms working to jazz up your Last Hurrah.

Once all your prisms have burst, and your eyes have feasted on the dazzle of colors, the phoenix himself will appear! (Okay, it could be a girl phoenix; it’s impolite to ask and downright rude to check!) As he takes his final bow and is reborn, a shower of his own feathers falls around him. Whichever feather he catches in his beak will determine the coin bonus you receive on top of the coins already earned in the game.  These will automatically be added to your Coin balance.

Blazing Steed:

When you harvest a Blazing Steed Gem, you will begin your next game with Blazing Speed, which causes gems to drop more quickly and turns every match into an explosion! Blazing Speed usually lasts eight seconds, but this special opening lasts ten so you can start out with a bang, a blast, and a ba-boom!

But wait, there’s more. Even after the initial Blazing Speed burst fades, the Blazing Steed continues to make his presence felt. For the whole game, keep an eye on the Flame Gems you match—they’re bigger, better, blazing-er versions of their normal selves, taking out a larger area and earning more points.

Finally, when the clock runs out, a herd of fiery horses will stampede across your gameboard, scattering and detonating extra Flame Gems in a blaze of glory!  

Kanga Ruby (NEW to Bejeweled Blitz for iOS!):

Meet the magnificent mustachioed marsupial!  The king of kapow!  Bruce, the boxing kangaroo!  The Kanga Ruby is here to pound gems on your behalf with fists of furry fury! Whenever he appears on screen, a well-placed blow will be delivered to your board, destroying a section of gems.

The Blitzing boxer will turn up to deliver his roundhouses at least three times per game, but you can motivate him to come back even more often by destroying red gems!  A Kanga Ruby's favorite gem is red, and as you match these, you will see his meter filling at the top of the board.  The more red gems you match, the faster he will return to take another shot!  

At the end of the game you will be awarded 100 coins for each red gem you destroyed! 

Don't forget to Share your Kanga Ruby at the end of the game!  As you share this rare gem, your friends will get to play with evolved Kanga Ruby 2 & 3!  (The evolved gems are currently not available on iOS, so be sure to check them out on Facebook!)

Achievements – Solitaire Blitz for iOS tracks your achievements and lets you know when you've done something special!
Tap the arrow on the lower right corner from the main menu...
...then tap the star icon on the expanded menu bar to view your Achievements.
On the Achievements menu, tap any locked icon to learn what you need to do to unlock it.

Build Piles – The destination piles for the cards in your Stacks.  You start with just one build pile, but you can unlock two more as you play by finding Key Cards.

Boosts – Boosts are special powers you can use to earn a higher score and enhance your game.  They can give you extra time, extra cards, extra fish, extra jokers and more!  Try different Boosts, to find the ones that best suit your style of play.

Card Multiplier – The Card Multiplier affects all the points you earn from playing cards. Whenever you find a fish, that indicates the card multiplier has gone up by one (from x1 to x2, for example).  The maximum multiplier is x9.    

Deck – Also sometimes referred to as the Draw Pile, the Deck is where the remainder of the cards are placed after dealing out the Stacks.  Play from the deck whenever you run out of moves, but be careful!  This pile will run out of cards, and you can only go through it once. On your iOS device, you can draw from the deck by swiping your finger across the screen at any spot or by tapping the deck.

Decks – All decks of cards are the same on the front (4 suits of 13 cards, plus 2 jokers).  But they can have different backs with very different art.  Play with your favorite!  You earn new decks as rewards for achievements!
To change between decks, tap the arrow to expand your menu, then tap the Ace of Clubs icon.

Energy – One unit of Energy is consumed with every deal of the cards.  Energy recharges at a steady rate, up to a maximum of 5.  Additional energy bought in the shop or received as gifts is stored in a separate bank, drawn from only when your regular energy is zero.  Your current energy level is indicated by a meter on the main menu.  

Fish – Every time you see a Fish in the game, it means your Multiplier has increased.  

Key Card – Two cards randomly placed among the Stacks have ribbons on them, indicating that they are Key Cards.  Each key card will unlock an additional build pile for you to play on.

Leaderboard – The Leaderboard displays all of your friends who are playing the game and their highest score this week.  Click on the envelope beside a friend’s name to send them a free unit of Energy!

Messages – If your friend sends you a gift, you will find it in your messages.  If you have messages waiting, this screen will appear automatically at the start of the game.

Shop – You can buy Energy, Silver, and Boosts in the Shop.  

Silver – Silver is the currency of Solitaire Blitz.  It lets you buy Boosts for your hand and can also be used to buy some items in the Shop.  Your current Silver balance is indicated by a meter on the main menu.

Stacks – The cards are dealt out into seven Stacks at the start of the game.  To clear each stack, you must move the cards onto the build piles.  Each stack conceals a treasure buried beneath.   

Stopwatch – You have just 60 seconds to clear the cards from the Stacks, and the Stopwatch tracks your time.

Time Lines – There are four Time Lines in each hand, at depths of 1, 4, 7 and 10 cards.  When you clear all the cards above a Time Line, 20 seconds are added to the clock.

Treasure – Shells, crabs, jewelry, antiques, and many more mysterious things await you on the ocean floor, concealed by the stacks of cards.  If you clear all of the cards in a stack, you can pick up its Treasure.  The treasures are instantly converted to Silver.

There are a great variety of game-enhancing boosts to choose from in Solitaire Blitz! Experiment with them, one at a time and in different combinations, and see which earn you the highest scores and the coolest treasures!  The boosts that are available for purchase slowly change over time.  Some new options are added, and others are retired.  If a favorite isn't available today, take the opportunity to try a new combo!

Boosts are purchased with Silver.

		Anytime Joker: Keep an Ace up your sleeve...or in this case, a Joker. With one of these cards set aside for use at any time, you're able to move quickly through a tough spot!
		Bonus Fish: This boost starts your score multiplier off at x2!
		Depth Charge: This boost plants two explosives in your stacks, allowing you to detonate four cards in a vertical blast.  At the start of the round, you will see which stacks the explosives are hidden within, and once you have uncovered them, you can click on them at any time to destroy a portion of the stack beneath!
		Extra Cards: Adds 13 cards plus 1 Joker to the deck to keep you from running out of moves.  Recommended for use with Extra Time so you have a chance to get through all these extra cards!
		Extra Jokers: Add two extra Jokers to your deck!
		Extra Time: This boost is simple, yet elegant.  Who couldn't use another 30 seconds on the clock?
		Key Magnet: To get all your build piles started earlier in the game, play with the Key Magnet boost!  It will draw all Keys toward the tops of the stacks so you can quickly open your second and third piles.
		Mine: This boost is devastating to all face-up cards on your stacks!  At the start of the round, you'll see which stack conceals your Mine, and once you uncover it, you can click it at any time to explode all the face-up cards at once!  Very handy for clearing unplayable cards and reaching your next Time Line!
		Run Finder: This boost marks runs of cards in the same stack so you can click with confidence!  If there are multiple playable cards in a row within the same stack, they'll be turned face-up to indicate that.
		Spyglass: Highlights the deck immediately whenever there are no legal plays available to you on your stacks.  This boost will save you valuable seconds of considering possible moves!
		Starrgh-Fish: Once you uncover this boost, click it to initiate an auto-play burst of the best possible moves on the board!  He'll play from the stacks where possible, draw from the deck if he must, aim for key cards if he can, and do his best to save Jokers for you, but best of all, he'll do it in a fraction of the time it would take you to choose your next play!
		Starting Joker: Choose this boost to guarantee that your first card on the deck is playable!  The Joker matches when nothing else does.
		Tempest in a Teacup: No moves available?  A couple of empty stacks and a couple you've made barely a dent in?  Use this handy boost to reshuffle your remaining cards into a set of new, even stacks, turning up a whole new set of options and resetting the levels above your Time Line!

Boost Packs

You can save on Silver by buying some of the most popular Boosts by the Pack!

Many factors influence your score in Solitaire Blitz. 

1. Cards played – This is the simplest measure!  You get points for every card played onto a build pile, and each card's point value increases as your run continues.  A run occurs every time you are able to play multiple cards in a row without attempting an illegal move or playing from the draw pile.
    
2. Cards left – You get points for every card left in the draw pile when you win.*
    
3. Time left – You get points for every second left on the clock when you win.*
    
4. Bonus time – When you clear a Time Line, if the bonus seconds from doing so would have advanced the clock past 1:00, those seconds are instead converted to points. 
    
5. Bursts of speed – You get extra points for playing 6 or more cards very quickly. When you play at least 6 cards with less than 0.75 seconds between each move, every card you play at that speed earns you an extra 500 points!  
    
6. Clearing a stack – You get points every time you clear a stack down to zero cards.
    
7. Bonus moves – You get points for making certain unusual patterns of cards, such as:
   
   Royal Family Bonus = The three build piles show a King, Queen and Jack at the same time.

   Three Of A Kind Bonus = The three build piles show three cards of the same rank.
   
   Up-Down Bonus = Play six or more cards in a row using just two ranks (e.g. 5-6-5-6-5-6).
   
   Around the World Bonus = Play every card from Ace to King (or King to Ace) without changing direction or breaking the run.
   
   Seven Seas Bonus = Play one card from each of the seven stacks, moving left to right.  This is a rare achievement to pull off, so don't forget to brag!  
    

8. Accuracy Bonus – Play your entire game without making a single illegal move.  

   * Cards and Time left over count only the standard cards and time, not any added by the Extra Cards or Extra Time boosts.

Any points earned in categories 1 or 2 are multiplied by your current Card Multiplier.  The Card Multiplier starts at x1 and goes up by one whenever you find a fish.  Some fish appear randomly, but you always get a fish when your run reaches 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 cards.

Your starting letters in Bookworm Heroes will always be 16 basic tiles laid out in a 4x4 grid. Each letter's base value is shown at the upper right corner.  The values can decrease if the tiles are smashed by Polyphemus, and they can increase if they become special gem tiles! Gem tiles not only have higher values, they carry additional benefits.  Your chosen Hero avatar will have a unique signature tile, but most gem tiles are available to all players, no matter which Hero is selected.

Each gem tile automatically doubles the value of the letter on which it appears, unless noted otherwise.  Check out what else they can do!

		Ruby tiles replenish Health when used in a word.
		Topaz tiles grant you a Bonus Key that will earn you additional coins at the end of the game!  Use as many of these as you can to maximize your earnings.
		Quartz tiles energize a sleeping pet!  If you have a quartz tile on the board, make sure to use your pet on the turn when you play that tile, because pet energy doesn't store up.  Using two quartz tiles in the same word will not give your pet two turns worth of energy.
		Emerald tiles increase the power of your attack!  Their glorious green is like spinach to amp up your mental muscle!
		Sapphire tiles are the lucky penny of the Bookworm world!  When you spell a word with a sapphire tile, you have a coin flip chance of reusing the tiles to make a second bonus word!
		Diamond tiles are wild tiles that can be turned into whatever letter you need!  And since they don't come attached to a letter with a base value to double, they double the value of the entire word!  It may be overcompensation...but it works!

Head over to the advanced strategy section for tips on making the best use of your heroes, your pets, and your special tiles!

Having trouble with the "Solve the Equation" part of Level 5 in Escape Rosecliff Island?  This is a common area of confusion caused by the way our minds process equations versus the order in which hidden object games want us to choose items.  We look at "4+6=" and know the answer is "10," and we want to click on the components in that order.

The game, however, considers that the "10" is the missing piece in the mostly complete expression of the equation!  If you click on "10" first, then click on "4+6=" to place the "10" where it belongs, you will complete the step!
