Frequently asked questions
How many turns is the connecting line allowed?
Two. A straight line, one turn, or two turns — anything longer is not a valid match.
What happens when no pair can be connected?
The board detects the deadlock and reshuffles the remaining tiles automatically, so a game is never stuck.
