Take a closer look while playing

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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Start here and follow along

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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Put the rules into context

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

Check this before moving on

Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
