The number of feathers in
the peacock's tail represents how many moves you have left (More
feathers = more moves).
If you're stuck and can't
see any more matches to make, wait a few seconds and a shimmering effect
will guide your eyes to a possible move.
Create matches on the blue
tiles to gain magic points used for casting spells.
It's best not to use spells
frivolously, because if you run out of moves AND spell points, your game
is over. Use spells only when you have no choice and there are no more
possible moves on the board.
The coins and other bonuses
you earn for matching five or more tiles do not carry over to the next
level, so make the most of them while they're on the board.
Medallions (the items that
let you chain two different components together) do carry over to the
next level, however, so feel free to horde those for when the going gets
tough.
When you make a match, new
tiles fill in from whichever direction you drag the mouse from. (For
example, if you drag to the right, new tiles will fill in from left to
right). Use this to strategically drag the symbols you want into the
appropriate spaces.
To make optimal use of the
Shuffle spell, make sure you're creating matching opportunities at both
ends of the swap
In later levels especially,
speed is more important than accuracy. Don't be afraid to create matches
even if you don't need any more of those particular spell components
because this will keep your magic meter from dropping.
When the speed is becoming
too challenging, aim to set off as many tornados as possible - the
tornado animation buys you about five seconds of time to plan your next
move in advance.
In Level 36, Stage 4 you
can create one huge match across the entire board by starting at one end
and dragging your mouse around all the stones to the far end.
In the Centipede-inspired
bonus game where you have to shoot ghosts and collect the diamonds they
drop, try this strategy: When the first ghost appears, wait until it
travels one space to the left and then shoot it to turn it into a
tombstone. This tombstone will contain the other ghosts in a tiny space,
so you can pick them off one by one and collect the diamonds at your
leisure.

Tips:
coins allow to connect
items of the same type, magic amulets are used as connectors for items
of different types.
to increase magic point,
look for explode power ups that blow up all items around them.
magic match scores you
extra points as well.
Some spell-bound items are
added to the playing field to put a spoke in your wheel:
Wooden shield blocks a
match. To unblock it, match nearby items.
Metal shields are still
worse: they block your path as well, but to destroy them you have to
make 2 matches near it.
Apart from being blocked,
items can be frozen when Freezer is added to a grid.
