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