Tips to get a high score
- The larger pieces are worth more points per unit area. If possible, leave the simpler pieces (yellow triangle and square) in the queue when you finish the level.
| Shape | Color | Image | Area | Pts | Pts Density |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Triangle | Yellow |  | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Square | Dark Green |  | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| Large Triangle | Blue |  | 2 | 3 | 1.5 |
| Parallelogram | Cyan |  | 2 | 5 | 2.5 |
| Parallelogram | Violet |  | 2 | 5 | 2.5 |
| Right Trapezoid | Orange |  | 3 | 5 | 1.67 (5/3) |
| Right Trapezoid | Green |  | 3 | 10 | 3.33 (10/3) |
Area is measured in units of half a square.
- Use the Hammer to knock out the squares, since it's better to hammer out a square and put two yellow triangles into the puzzle, than to hammer out a yellow triangle, put a square in the puzzle, and have a yellow triangle still taking up space in the queue.
- If you're running out of time, don't be afraid to use the magic wand. It's faster than clicking back and forth between the queue and the puzzle, and you still get 1 pt per yellow triangle.
- On the last level (10 Razor), if you have any plays left, leave a small triangle open and replay the level to use up your lives and maximize your points.
- Levels are replayable - if you have extra lives left, you can purposely not finish the last (or any) level, reply it and get more points.
