Take a closer look while playing

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.

Understand the aim

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The playing sequence

  1. Select equal tiles.
  2. The route must cross only empty cells.
  3. An outside-border path is allowed.
  4. Open connections by removing pairs.

How to interact with the game

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Work through an example

Pay attention to this rule

Three corners are invalid. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
