A small practice goal

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.

What counts as success

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.

Start here and follow along

  1. Select equal tiles.
  2. The route must cross only empty cells.
  3. An outside-border path is allowed.

Using the playing area

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Work through an example
