I find that making the matches very fast is the best way to achieve a high score. Also I find that some of the configerations are easier to score highly with and I use these. I like World Snake, Twin Peaks, Celtic, and Spiral but this may be a prejudice on my part. I do think its good to play only a few configerations as you become familar with where the tiles are located and this allows you to move faster in making the matches. In order to make the leaderboard you will have to make at least 8,000 before getting you time bonus points. You will need about 2 minutes of bonus points as most of the scores in the Leaderboard are in the 9,000 range. Do not touch the little penguins on the right that hold the points. It you do you will lose some points. If there are two pairs remaining at the end of the game and one pair is the guitars that rotate the tiles-- choose the guitars first. If the rotating guitars are the last pair then the clock will continue running while your score is totaled and you will lose some time bonus points.
