Don't give up, VGail! If you're getting frustrated, try going back to play a previous level for more stars, or even another game for awhile. I know that's helped me in the past when a level's driving me crazy. Btw, how many moves does 127 have now? And just checking...are you using special jewel combinations, especially blaster + bomb & diamond + blaster? These are really helpful for clearing tons of glass, and getting to hard-to-reach areas, as well. You probably already know that, but just wanted to be sure, lol! Another "generic" tip for glass is to make moves towards the bottom of the board (but check each time in case you have matches in hard to reach areas or special jewel-creating opportunities.) Making moves towards the bottom often creates "bonus" matches as the jewels fall, which saves moves and drives your score up, as well. Good luck, and hang in there!
