If you want, I can assist on my computer. It is able to play faster than my old computer.

So, on Japan levels 33, 46, and 55 - is there anyway to earn 3 stars on those? I'm running the BW auto for 4 days now and nothing. I even used 2 jokers on 33 and it dinged me for accuracy. Any suggestions?

I feel stupid, as always. It says I've completed 54 of 60, which clearly means I am on 55. Ugh!

Each "dynasty" is a multiple of 5, e.g. 5, 10, 15, etc. If there are stars filled out, it means you have completed that level, so the first one that is incomplete is the level you are on.

Can anyone tell me how to figure out what level I'm on? In Japan I have 54 of 60. Does that mean I'm on 54, or have completed 54? Either way, any tips on this one? I don't even get 1/2 through and I'm out of moves.

I am now helping Yoming clean up those less than three star levels, and sure enough, Japan 33 is one of them. It is a particularly nasty puzzle and Yoming's best score to date is 10,750. I will get her three stars, just like on my accounts.
I was just so happy I made it thru the China part that I didn't figure on getting the stars..ever. I think I better stick with the simpler games like watching the frogs jumping the lilypads....or a slots game where I can doze while the auto does the work. Will wait and see what the new India thingy is all about~~~~~might ask for help again ( if I live that long )...

I rarely play any game by hand, especially since 2003. I have not played Mahjong Escape by hand, although a few times I have helped the auto out on hard puzzles.
It is a combination for score, time and accuracy. The auto does accuracy just fine, some levels require longer work than others because the boards are tough and the program just uses brute force. Since there are 60 boards per map, it is too much to optimize for each level. I have gotten three stars on every level using only the program. Perhaps I am getting a little higher score on a couple of levels due to a combination of processor speed (the new desktop is two months old) and plain old luck (boards have lots of matches leading to lots of bonus).
It does take a little luck to get through some of the nastiest boards.

Are you using the auto to finish these? And if so how did ya get 3 stars on lvl 33 japan? I let the auto run for 5 days just repeating level 33! and can't get 3 stars on lvl 33 because it never scores higher then 11k and i believe it takes 11.5k to accomplish it. The auto with a bit of repeat level usage got me 3 stars on every other level on china and japan just can't seem to do it on level 33 of japan, I'm rank 21 anyway but i dunno if you can achieve full rank out without getting 180/180 on each map ( when they are added that is ).
