Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. 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. Notice how the game responds to your input.

How a round unfolds

  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.

Your inputs

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.

Put the rules into context

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

Where a round can go wrong

Three corners are invalid. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
