Your goal
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Select equal tiles.

Controls
Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Three corners are invalid. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
