Tips and tricks
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- 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.
