who really knows how to get high scores in Squelchies?

[cosmo254]

OK, I know there is a way of getting high scores in Squelchies without using Bots but don't know what the secret is.  There must be someone here that plays without using robots and can figure out how to get the really high scores (900s+) what's the secret?
I like to play for fun but when I see a few players that can score 900 games again and again without bots it makes me wonder what is going on.
Please help and don't say get a auto to do it for me.
Thanks

Most of us use autos.

I have several tactics I use. First and foremost, I play on Expert level. The best boards to get a high score are the boards where you have to remove Squelchies of just one color...to get the number really up there, make tons of combos, set up your fish to make the combos, don't go straight for that one color right away. It also helps to get 2 bonus games for that set--at the very least 1. I catch 40-48 on the bonus rounds. Hope that helps, good luck!!!

Most of the time the auto doesn't work for me.  ?.?
