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. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.

A useful example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
