Method
Practice that works, and the kind that only feels like practice
Volume is the slowest route. Three specific drills do more in a week than a month of ordinary play.

Getting better at cascade puzzles, on purpose rather than by volume
Blitzorionid is about improvement in match puzzle games, which almost nobody approaches deliberately. Most players get better by playing thousands of levels and absorbing patterns by accident. The same improvement is available in a fraction of the time by practising the three things that actually decide a level.
How this site is put together
Three principles. They explain both what is here and what is deliberately absent.
Claims are tested before they are written
Where a guide says a habit helps, it was tried across enough levels to be confident it repeats. Where the evidence was thin, the guide says so rather than rounding it up into advice.
Links go to the official listing
Every game link opens the developer's own New Zealand store page. Nothing is hosted here and no modified build is linked from any page.
Nothing from inside a game is sold
Blitzorionid cannot add lives, coins or boosters to any account and does not sell them. One PDF written here is for sale; every guide on the site stays free.

Practice that works, and the kind that only feels like practice
Most people improve at these games by accident, absorbing patterns over thousands of levels without ever naming what they learned. The same improvement is available deliberately and much faster, because only three decisions in a level actually matter and all three can be drilled on their own.
All guides
Four guides. Three about playing better, one about what happens when the game goes away.
Game design
Where these games get hard, and why it happens there
The difficulty jumps are placed, not accidental, and they arrive at fairly predictable points.

Method
Opening moves, and the trap of the obvious match
The match you noticed first is obvious because of where you looked, not because it is good.

Longevity
When a game shuts down, and what happens to what you bought
Every game in this genre eventually stops. What that means for the money you spent depends on how it stops.

Common questions
Is Blitzorionid an official site for any of these games?
No. It is written by one person in Christchurch and has no connection to King, Apple or Google. Nothing here can change anything inside a game account.
Do you give away lives, coins or boosters?
No. Those exist only in the games and only the games issue them. Sites promising them in exchange for an account login are attempting to take the account.
Why is there no ratings column in the table?
Because those numbers change weekly and would be misleading within a month. The table links to the listing, where the current figures are always shown.
Do these guides apply to both platforms?
The board rules work the same way on iPhone and Android. Menus, event schedules and purchase flows differ, and the guides note it where it changes what you should do.
Are these games free in New Zealand?
All four are free to install and all four sell optional extras. Some also show advertising. The store listing discloses both before you install.
What is the manual you sell?
A PDF I wrote, NZ$16, requested through a form and emailed after a bank transfer. It is the only thing sold here and it contains writing, not anything that exists inside a game.
