Tips and tricks
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- 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.
- 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.
- Because this is a Match 3 game, work from the bottom of the board so cascades do the work for you.
