The

'win' is because after a while Bejeweled 2's display can't cope with
the score and screws up. Must be a great support ticket to file
'Problem: display goes blank when you score a squillion. Steps to
reproduce: play for three years straight to score a squillion.'

(and yes, it -still- annoys me they didn't spell bejewelled correctly...)

Cheers,
Ian

I will let Hannah know - something for her to aim for.

I actually much prefer the original Bejeweled ad it feels faster, more
responsive, and more hectic... though Bejeweled Blitz is quite fun. Does
anyone here play Blitz? Hannah and I hi-scored around 400,000 - Han
scoring quite a lot higher than me, but I don't remember the exact
figures.

Yup.

Americans can't spell jewellery properly.

I've got blitz on the iphone, got a score of over 438,000 on about my
4th play, and despite devoting many hours of train journey to it, still
cannot beat it...

They can't pronounce 'Z' properly either.
