Tips and tricks
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- 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.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Because this is a Brain game, the obvious answer is often a trap in brain-teasers — pause before you click.
