Making selections and moves

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

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 game’s format in mind.

Keep this in mind

Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
