Practice beyond the first move

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

Try this 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. Verify the rule before continuing.

Keep this in mind

Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
