Tips and tricks
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- 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.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
