What saved my sanity was stumbling on the hints for Treasure box and Haunted lights on how to play the gems and lights to get either a vertical or horizontal clearing flash. With that information I was finally able to be successful and sometimes even without needing to use a flying time. Also I learned to stop if one flying time did not get me within less than 10 of completing the operation. Sometimes those puzzles just eat up all of your flying time if you are not self disciplined enough to know when to quit. So to let newbies who haven't yet discovered the tricks know. In the lights if you want to vertically clear a column, end your string vertically. If you want a horizontal clearance then end either diagonally or horizontally. For Treasure Box try to move a gem horizontally to form 4 in a row if you want to blast horizontally. Combine vertically for a vertical blast. Mind, you often cannot control how the gems fall while you are waiting for needed gems to combine with the  stripped gems.
