I am also new to programming (totally) but in the interest of participating in the forum my suggestion would be to move a lot of your code into functions() outside your main loop.
Although my first game is only 190 lines of code including a dozen or so blank lines my main loop looks like this:

Repeat
	If KeyHit(1)
		If MouseX()<176
		pick=1
		checkhit()
		masterscore:+score
		ElseIf MouseX()>201 And MouseX()<307
		pick=2
		checkhit()
		masterscore:+score
		ElseIf MouseX()>332 And MouseX()<438
		pick=3
		checkhit()
		masterscore:+score
		ElseIf MouseX()>463
		pick=4
		checkhit()
		masterscore:+score
		End If
	End If
	If timer=60 bonus()
	drawlines()
	drawstates()
	drawcapitals()
	SetScale 1.5,1.5
	If timer=0 And n=5 Local myChannel = PlaySound (tick)
	DrawImage numtiles,559,59,tilearray3[n]
	DrawText"Total Score = "+masterscore,58,70
	DrawText"Speed Bonus:",410,70
	SetScale 1,1
	Flip
	FlushMem
	Cls
	timer:+1
	score=0
Until KeyHit (key_space)

I hope you can get some use out of my suggestion.
