How to get lives in Harry Potter Puzzles and Spells?

Though the game comes with the rating of 4.8 at the app store, the most annoying thing that players are finding in the game is about game lives. The time to refill lives extends from 15 -20 minutes. As you progress the game the levels are harder to play and win so you lose lives fast the game wants you to spend 900 coins to buy lives in the game which is quite expensive. The power ups are even more expensive they are more than 1,000 coins!

Lives allow you to play Puzzles, and they appear as hearts in the game. You start the game with 5 Lives but will lose one each time you’re unsuccessful in completing a Puzzle. You can view how many Lives you have by checking the heart icon. Lives get replenished over time so wait for new ones to be added. To view when your next Life will be replenished, tap on the heart icon at the top of the screen.

This means you need gold, win more power ups and experience to get lives as there is no other way to get lives. Here are some of the ways that will increase your chances to get more lives all free.

Look for the matches towards the bottom: Because you have a limited number of moves, you need to make sure you work towards the goal efficiently with every move. One of the ways to optimize your gameplay is to always look for matches toward the bottom. As you clear tiles toward the bottom, the entire puzzle changes while spawning new ones at the top, creating new opportunities for you.

If you only match tiles toward the top, everything below the area you’ve just cleared remains the same, limiting the number of new opportunities you get. In some cases, it is, however, best to go for matches towards the top, if you can see an amazing combo or you need a specific match for the level’s goal. Therefore playing towards the bottom will almost always yield a better result.

Clear locked tiles first: Most levels have some kind of locked tiles like tickets that you need to clear before pieces can appear on these tiles. To increase your chances of beating these levels, you should aim to clear locked tiles first, as this will increase the number of tiles you can use. Furthermore, most levels that have locked tiles require you to clear them all as part of their requirement.

To clear locked tiles, match pieces next to them. You can also use spells like severing surge and bombastic bomb to break locked tiles as well. Even though you should prioritize clearing locked tiles, if you find a great combo that you’ll lose by clearing a locked tile, then go for the combo first.

Look ahead for combos:  You have to look ahead and set up big combos to generate spells. As you have to generate several spells, including color bombs, if you want to complete levels without using boosters. Then move on to looking two moves ahead. After a while, you will be able to set up incredible combos and generate powerful spells that’ll help you secure victory.

• A 4-line match generates a Severing Surge, which upon use, clears the entire horizontal or vertical line from its position.
• A square match generates a Winged Key, which clears 4 tiles around upon use, and flies to a random tile and clears it.
• An L-shaped or T-shaped match with at least three tiles in each direction creates a Bombastic Bomb, which clears all 8 tiles around it upon use.
• A 5-line match generates a Charmed Bag, known as color bomb in most puzzle games, which upon use, clears all tiles of the color you swap the bomb into.
• Also if you match charmed bag with a colored bomb or a winged key you will find that it clears your hazards faster.

Use spells effectively: To further increase the chances of completing puzzles in the game, you should use spells effectively. You should always try to use spells, so they have as much impact as possible.

Like if you can see another spell can be created by swapping your spell with a tile, you should do it or when you use a severing surge, you should always aim to hit tiles you need for your goal that are difficult to find a match for. Also, make sure to use spells like bombastic bombs away from edges of the map to ensure they can use their full clearance radius.

Whenever possible, you should try to combine spells by swapping one into another, as this greatly improves the power of them. If you manage to swap a charmed bag into a bombastic bomb, for example, the result is a flurry of bombs all over the puzzle, which will clear almost every single tile.

Combining two Charmed Bags helps clear all of the gems from a puzzle, plus matching two Bombastic Bombs together creates an even bigger explosion you can capitalize on. Combining a Charmed Bag with any other special puzzle piece creates multiple copies of that second power up and places them all over the stage, which is one of the more amazing combos in the game you need to take advantage of.

Join a group for rewards: Upon completing puzzle 32, you can join a group, which is a community of players. By joining a group, you get access to exclusive group events and extra rewards, including lives and XP. To start a puzzle, you need lives. Therefore, you should join a group as soon as you can, as it is a great way to get more lives passively.

Wait for few seconds and then play: Every time you hop into a new puzzle, take your time and keep track of all the available matches given to you. By waiting a few seconds, the game will give you a hand by making a matching opportunity visible to you. Nine times out of ten, those assisted matches will give you the opportunity to match more than three pieces and create a special tile piece.

Making basic three-piece matches  should be last resort: Its fine when you’re trying to clear special portions of the puzzle (such as jelly bean clusters and chocolate frogs), but you should make those types of matches your last resort. Make it a priority of matching the pieces that fill your magic spell meter before anything else. You’ll run into puzzles where more than one spell can be activated, so use as little turns as possible to activate those spells before you focus on the main completion goal at hand.

Creating all those special puzzle pieces and completing the puzzle at hand means you’ll leave with even more XP for your player level. So take it slow, keep an eye out for the game’s recommended matches, try to go for more +3 matches over simple three-piece matches, and try to complete each puzzle with plenty of turns remaining by the end of it.

Other ways to get more free lives

• Ask your fellow club members for Lives. Each member can send you 1 Life. You can ask for Lives again after 6 hours. To collect the Lives that were sent to you, tap the Inbox button with the envelope icon.
• Through your Club, you could initially store up to 15 Lives!
• Your Lives also get refilled once you level up.
• After completing a chapter from the Player Journey, your Lives also get refilled automatically.
• Keep an eye out for matches that are going to make power-ups. Any time you match more than three gems of the same color, you’re going to make one of the different power-ups, and they can really help you out on tougher levels.
• Make sure you claim all the rewards you can. Whether that’s for finishing challenges or collecting items. The more rewards you collect, the more you’re going to earn

Look at how the board is set out and what you need to do to finish. If it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to complete the level in the extra moves, you’re just throwing the coins away.

Quite often you’ll find that after failing and losing a life you’ll finish the level on the next attempt. Save your coins for when you need them and you’ll be in much better shape.

If you’re planning on getting the most out of Harry Potter Puzzles & Spells, you’ll need to make it a habit of logging in every day. That method will help you acquire all those special login rewards and do better at completing all of the puzzles needed to claim a special pet. Using your pet when it’s ready can help you finish levels. Again, it’s a good idea not to waste the skill. Just because it’s unlocked, don’t throw it straight into the mix. Look at the board and see how close you are to completing the level.

Holding on to your pet and using it when you’re in a tough spot or at the start of a level is a great strategy and will see you through some of the more difficult challenges.

Some of the toughest puzzles in the game are the class-based event stages that involve Hogwarts’ most recognizable professors. Completing those puzzles to farm them for extra stars, spell upgrades, and reward chests are essential, so try to have some power-ups and special puzzle pieces on deck when those types of puzzles become active again.

Finally you can buy Lives with Gold. You can purchase gold coins with in app purchase within the game. The cost starts from as low as $0. 99 and rise as high as $99.99 for a good amount of gold bundle. Many a times the game app offers coupon codes to redeem to get some discount in buying the gold. Buying Lives will also restore all your Lives immediately but that is last resort for me. I don’t wish to waste my money rather wait or find other tricks and hacks to get free lives to play the game.
