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.
  • Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
  • 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.
