Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Step by step

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.

Controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

A useful example

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. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
