Overview
Match stones to create pairs and clear the board as quickly as possible or end the game early to maximize your time bonus.
How to Play
Match stone shapes to create fitting pairs by tapping or dragging your finger.
If no more matches can be made, tap the pile to reveal three new stones.
Utilize the Hold area by dragging a stone from the top of the Pile or the board. The stone will remain locked until it's matched with another fitting pair.
Some boards are not solvable. If no more moves are available, tap the END button to finish the game, submit score and receive a time bonus. A time bonus is the remaining time on the clock and how much of the board is cleared.
Scoring

- Time Bonus: Earn more points for completing the game as fast as possible based on how much of the board is cleared. (10 points * Seconds Remaining * % of board cleared)
Tips
- If the Hold Area is open, you can use it to clear stones that are stacked on each other.
Tap the END button if there are no more moves to end the game, submit your score and receive a time bonus. - After drawing stones, use the undo button to peek ahead in the Pile. Use this in combination with the Hold Area to create a match you were not previously able to make.
- Go through the Pile at the beginning of the game to plan your matches and find the longest streak. You do not need to start at the top of the Pile!
- Don't always tap the pre-matched stones as soon as you see them. Try to save them to extend your streaks!
- Don't always make every match as soon as you can. Try to save them to extend your streaks!
- Match stone pairs on the lower levels on the board first to maximize the stones available
- Make matches using stones on the board first before stones from the Pile.
- Be conservative about putting stones in the Hold Area so you don't get stuck.
- Sometimes you may have to end a streak to ensure that you can clear the board.
