Your goal
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- 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. 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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Three corners are invalid. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
