What the game asks you to do
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.
Making your moves
- Select equal tiles.
- The route must cross only empty cells.
- An outside-border path is allowed.
- Open connections by removing pairs.
Using the playing area
Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example before you play
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
