- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- 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 Difference game, compare quadrant by quadrant instead of flicking between whole images.
