I would recommend removing "7" from the board at all. The easiest opening move is to just start clicking all the 7s (since that guarantees you all multiples of 7 until you run out of 7s).

This strategy requires 0-thinking and is a bit tedious. If the board has no 7's on it, you're required to add from the get-go.

EDIT: Also, very fun little game. Thanks for sharing!

That only works until you hit 21, thats a multiple of 3 and you lose.

I hit three 7s and scored 21 points. Then four and got 28 points.

Looks like the cells are randomly populated, so my first attempt, I only had three '7's. I had a ton of '9's so I used the 10-10-9-9-9-9.... strategy to safely get me to a higher score, and then did a little math from there to hit each multiple of 7 on the way up.

Definitely a fun little distraction, I should be working though.
