Aim for this result
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
How a round unfolds
- Select equal tiles.
- The route must cross only empty cells.
- An outside-border path is allowed.
- Open connections by removing pairs.
How to use the controls
Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Three corners are invalid. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
