What are some advanced techniques for achieving a high score in Solitaire for iPhone, specifically the 3 Draw variety? I'm looking for more than simply a recitation of the scoring rules packaged with the game.

The current leaderboards in the iPhone Game Center have some ridiculously high scores. How are they able to achieve scores in the 20,000 range when I can barely manage to scrape 4,000 myself?

I've been wondering the same thing. Leaderboards show scores in the 20,000+. I've finished the 3 draw game in 1:50 secs and the highest score I've received was 7150. If finishing the game in 1 min increases my score by 13,000, I'll share the word...until then... – user29953 Jul 25 '12 at 7:10
To be honest, i have a top 5% score (19,592) there is no way in hell I would have been able to get that had the game not glitched. So yes my high score is in fact a sham, and I suspect everyone else's is too. – Steve Feb 15 at 23:55

You can get to around 12000 by completing the game in about a minute. I've no idea how they get to 25000, unless playing a few seconds quicker is worth exponentially more points.
