I think I only noticed because I'm usually curious about the friends on my list who are around the same level as me -- looking at their desktops to see what their process/strategy is for investigating pictures. Some people like to open as many pictures as possible, some like to get all the frames to be the same color, etc. So I noticed your level in the beginning, but then a short time later it was over 200!

I started playing in December 2015, I think, but I injured both of my hands shortly thereafter and couldn't play much at all last year. I've been playing more regularly since this spring and try to at least do my 50 daily gifts and visits every time I level up.

I looked at the Wiki for tips periodically, but didn't start reading it regularly until about 2 months ago after getting my Kindle update late and only having 5 days to complete the Vikings Village challenge for the desktop lantern. I skip the threads that are just chattty conversation, but I've picked up a few good tips in the other threads. It's certainly the best way to get quality game friends. I usually end up posting to the code exchange board once a month or so when a regular gifter or visitor on my list seems to be inactive. I keep my friends list to about 100 people because it's so time consuming to scroll and search for friends in the list on Kindle. I hope it's easier on other platforms! I really wish they would provide a way to group friends into separate lists -- gifts, visits, etc -- so I could add more people.
