Ooh nice. I've been hoping to break 10,000 for a week now but so far no success. Of course if I break 768 then that's a whole different level! Sounds like Verena has got quite close.

Verena has asked me to tell you that her new score is 20,640 and she's cracked the 768.

Verena's newest score is 29,091.

So you're the one! I knew it wasn't a natural death.

I suck at Threes. Only gotten to the 192 tile and my high score is 3546.

My highest score is around 3500 with my biggest number being 192. Been close to cracking that but never quite managed to get the pieces in place. Also, it crashed for me yesterday, locking up my Nexus 7 and losing my progress. Thankfully I was just starting a fresh game but I can't imagine my reaction if I'd have been doing well...

Threes reminds me a lot of Triple Town because it's about space management and carefully herding blocks, and the longer you last the harder it gets, but also, the more rewarding, intense and ultimately deflating/painful it becomes when your run ends. They're also deceptively cute.

So I'd highly recommend checking out Triple Town if you dig Threes. Avoid Tripe Town, that's just a bad spelling mistake.

So I got my first 768 last night and yes, it felt fantastic. It was hard earned! I've found the best technique (so far) is to not get too focussed on merging the larger numbers, keep those small numbers rolling at all times and ensure you're forcing the red and blue blocks to drop in the right places so they don't clog up the board. It's a magic little game.

Oh and HM: you really should turn the sound on at some point, just for a while.

Hailey has been playing it too and she hasn't got the patience to mull over the board like I do so she giggles at the blocks sighing and grumbling 'bored!' while they're waiting for me to move. She's joked: why play one game and score 3000 points when you can score 300 on 10 separate games?
