Choosing and moving on screen

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

An example before you play

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
