Does Anyone Have Tips For The Challenges?

Can anyone possibly give some honest tips about how to do some of the challenges? And by tips I don't just mean 'just practice a lot' or 'just do most of them on mobile because I think it's easier'. Those aren't tips. Like, actually, skilled ways of performing better in the challenges. For example, Starfall seems to be very easy; all you do is push the stars into the center of the screen as they fall down towards the box. That's it. So when I get almost every single star, by the end of it I get between 400-500, which I think is great! And yet so many others get 700+, which...makes no sense at all. HOW? It makes no sense to me! And then with Holey; how can you carefully move up past all the holes, over and over again, to get insane scores that don't even make sense? It's like people just pass over the holes and they aren't even there! Oh, and Words...some people actually get 90,000 points or more...when I go as fast as possible, I know my fair share of words, and the most I get is between 15000-20000. Just...just HOW? Please, any tips or insight would be very helpful.
