Apparently, Gregg has solved the first two Climb Mode boards, and accepting the challenge I solved the first myself. Yeah, that's pretty tough - it took me about eighteen minutes, sixteen of which were trying to figure out the proper way to start.

Yes, I have won with this layout. As with all tile matching layouts, a deal is guaranteed to have a winning solution if the '[Guaranteed] Winnable' option is enabled, and always in Climb Mode. Check the 'Options' menu within the game and confirm that there is a check mark next to the 'Winnable' option.
>It's making me nuts!!!!
Make sure that the layouts are guaranteed winnable (as above), and then try restarting or using the bulk undo feature until you find the right solution. Hint: Sometimes the "obvious" move leads one in the wrong direction. 
If you still have problems, post the game number here and perhaps we can give you some hints.

Yes, my average for this game (in 3 wins) is 3:20.0, which means that the games were fairly straightforward for me, although I may have restarted a few times (resetting the timer) in my 'guaranteed' game.
I have won every single official layout at least twice, since I submit the initial scores to the high score server. I find that most games take a few minutes, but every once in a while I get stuck on a layout that takes a long time. The worst was Large Hexagon #2, which took me well over an hour to solve (in Climb Mode).

Absolutely not. Hint away!

Okay - I'm not sure if you guys are scary or encouraging! But I'll keep trying. (Winnable is checked - but I need to check out this Climb Mode thing)
Thanks, everyone! --The "Rank Amatuer" |
