Bejeweled on the Iphone - any tips?

[rocksteadyeddie]

I may be the last person in the world to discover this but managed to download it last week. I play on action mode, and can regularly get to level 5 but then seem to run out of time very quickly.

Any hints / tips to progress further ?

Thanks in advance

Look harder for matches.

Seriously - go slower on the lower levels initially. This will give you lots of practice at spotting the matches. Then head for level 5 once you speed up, because you'll run out of time a lot faster after level 4 and so it's harder to keep up.

Oh, and the other thing is that once you "die", stop the application immediately, before you get to the High score/Menu screen. This allows you to return to the start of the level you were on before you "died", so you can have another go and see if you can do better the next time. If you ditch the game at any other time during a level, it just puts you back at the point where you left off. Which isn't always ideal.

I can't believe I know all this stuff, let alone that I'm telling you it.
