The basic strategy of this game is to be accurate and fast with your handwriting. To get a higher score, you must be able to knock the most raindrops out of the sky. Therefore, you need to hit the raindrops before they hit the ground. The more raindrops you knock out before one hits the ground, the higher your score. What works best for me is to first write the letters that I have the most problems with. For example, the letters I and K are problematic for me, so whenever I see them begin to fall from the sky, I try to knock them out first even though other letters may be lower. It will take me more time to knock out those letters than the letters I don't have problems with. If I let one of my problem letters get farther down, it increases the chances that the raindrop will hit the field. The other thing to keep in mind is to make sure that the letters you write are fully formed, and that you accurately tap the Fire! button. |
