This is from the 3 Sept. post of the TL Blog:
Need a breather from all of the adventure? Take a break and hang around for a bit. The new Island is the perfect place for that--head to the Monkey Treetop in Jewel Mania!

Level 392: 18 glass in 1:05 (5JC.) This board has 2 cutouts that separate 3 columns on either side. Combined with wooden walls, they create 2 3x3 boxed-in square areas. One in the upper left, & one at the bottom right of the board. These 2 areas contain all the glass, as well as black jewels & double-glass, in a checkerboard pattern. Each square has only a one jewel-width opening. The rest of the board has ice/white blocks scattered around, and doom jewels fall in from time-to-time (I think they have 30 sec. fuses...)
Whew, this one's a doozy. Very stressful, imho. And the timer's insanely short. The black jewels will fall out of the upper square when you make moves underneath. But you have to blast/use a combo to get rid of black jewels in the lower square (which is important to make quick-enough progress on breaking the glass.) Watch out for the doom jewels. Their fuses aren't that short, but sometimes moves are scarce (especially if you get a reshuffle and the black jewels get scattered!) I had lots of diamonds in the round I passed. I used a blaster + bomb first, though...right around the "sweet spot" (upper right area--hits all the glass!) It cleared most of the black jewels, and made a diamond. I was swiping frantically, and luckily my diamond swaps kept making more diamonds. Then I was able to combine one with a blaster. The timer was counting down, and I had two red jewels on my last couple glass. Swapped my last diamond with red, and was SO relieved it was over. Crazy-fast level!

Level 393: Dig 12 meters in 65 moves (5JC.) This digging level has super dirt, black jewels, wooden walls, and several windows. The rows of super dirt are broken up only by windows, so you have to blast/bomb it to "break thru"...so you can get a horizontal blaster in there to blast the row, or to dig underneath, etc.
This one took me longer than I thought it would; passed around this time yesterday. Had the same problem as with many s.d. levels...trying to get my blasters, bombs, combos aimed/in right place at right time (without exploding prematurely!) During so many attempts, I used diamond + blaster several times, lots of blaster + bombs, and combos of both. Not sure which ones on winning round, but I know it was close. Def have to conserve those moves!

Level 391: has been changed slightly. The cut out on the sides are only one block now, not two, which I can see as good or bad. It makes it easier to get to the fire once everything is unlocked, but the fire also has more ways to spread once the snakes are gone. Also, the moves have gone up from 55 to 70.
I'm so glad that they changed it (must have been within the last 24 hours). I've been stuck on this one forever and finally made it through.

Other updates to the levels:
Level 392: The time has been increased to 1:30
Level 393: Moves increased to 80
Level 394: Time is now 1:55
Level 395: Now has 55 moves
Level 396: Now 59 moves.
I haven't noticed any changes to the layout like in 391, but these time/moves increases are super helpful for anyone going through the levels now or for anyone coming back looking to increase their score.
