A focus for your next round
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Refer to the controls when needed.
The objective of a round
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Select equal tiles.
- The route must cross only empty cells.
- An outside-border path is allowed.
- Open connections by removing pairs.
How your actions work
Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Work through an example
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
Check this before moving on
Three corners are invalid. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
