- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
