Tips and tricks
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- 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.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Because this is a Christmas game, seasonal games often have hidden bonuses in the decorations.
