## How to play

### Goal

Clear the board by taking matching tiles away two at a time.

### Rules

• Only free tiles can be taken
• A tile is free when nothing rests on it and its left or right side is clear
• Two tiles match when they show the same picture
• Any flower matches any other flower, and any season matches any other season

### How to Play

• Tap a free tile to pick it up, then tap its match to clear the pair
• Tap the picked tile again to put it back
• Pinch to zoom and drag to move around a crowded board
• Undo returns the last pair, a hint points out a match, and a shuffle re-deals the tiles still on the table

### Tips

• Take tiles from the top layers first — they unlock the most
• When all four of a picture are free, clear all four rather than leaving an awkward pair
• Watch long rows: clearing an end tile opens the next one along
• Shaded tiles are blocked, so look for the bright ones
