3 tactics that matter most
- Clear layers first: removing top tiles opens multiple future pairs.
- Open sides: free left/right edges to unlock new moves.
- Choose “revealing” pairs: take the pair that exposes more tiles underneath.
Common mistake
Taking the first visible pair without checking what it blocks. Pause for 2 seconds: “Does this open the board or shrink my options?”
