Tips and tricks
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Because this is a Classic game, the old rules still apply.
