The purpose of your moves

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.

The steps to play

  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.

Input guidance

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Follow the example
