   • Focus on pattern recognition and timing

How to Cheat on Pacman Doodle?

While we encourage fair play, here are some legitimate tricks (not cheats) to improve your score:

1. Level 1 Pattern:
   • Follow a specific pattern to clear the first level perfectly
   • Start with the bottom left, move clockwise
   • Always clear the outer edges first
2. Ghost House Timing:
   • Ghosts leave their house at specific intervals
   • Learn these timings to predict ghost movements
   • Use this knowledge to plan your route
3. Power Pellet Maximization:
   • Wait for ghosts to group together before eating power pellets
   • Each consecutive ghost eaten during power pellet mode is worth more points
