Tips and tricks
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- 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.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
