Tips & Warnings
There are different levels of achievements in Bejeweled Blitz. The first level is hitting 25,000. Each new level will begin with 25,000-point increments. Once you reach a new level you will get a notice to announce your achievement on the wall for all your Facebook friends to see. Additionally, after each level, you are awarded a jewel which will represent another level of achievement. You can build points by continuously matching up at least three gems every two seconds.

Matching four gems of the same color will create a Flame Gem. When a Flame Gem is created, all surrounding matching gems will disappear and create an explosion. You can keep playing during the explosion in order to get your score higher. When you make five like gems that form either a T or and L, it is called a Star Gem. Once you've created a Star Gem, you will release one column and one row of gems on the board. If you match five gems either vertically or horizontally you will form a Hypercube. You will be rewarded extra points for a Hypercube.
