Something to practise
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
What you are aiming for
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
The steps to play
- Select equal tiles.
- The route must cross only empty cells.
- An outside-border path is allowed.
- Open connections by removing pairs.
Controls
Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
An example before you play
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
