Play a round

  1. Select two identical free tiles to remove them. A tile is free when no tile covers it and at least one horizontal side is open.
  2. Use the highlight to confirm which tiles can currently be selected; blocked matches must wait until their neighbors are cleared.
  3. Continue opening the layout from the outside and upper layers toward the tiles buried in the center.
  4. Clear all 32 pairs to complete the board. Hint and undo are available when you want help without restarting.

Strategy for this version

  • When a symbol appears on several free tiles, match the pair that releases the greatest number of covered or side-blocked tiles.
  • Balance removals across the layout instead of clearing only one edge and leaving the opposite side locked.
  • Protect a free copy of a symbol if the remaining matching tile is deeply buried and another pairing is available.
  • Use undo to compare two plausible pairs; the better choice usually creates more free tiles immediately.
