### **How to Play**

1.  **Match Tiles:** Find and click on two tiles with the same pattern to remove them from the board.

2.  **The "Free Side" Rule:** A tile can only be selected if its left or right side is unblocked and there are no other tiles sitting directly on top of it.

3.  **Special Exceptions:** * **Flower Tiles:** These can be matched with any other Flower tile, regardless of whether the specific drawing is identical.

    * **Season Tiles:** Like Flowers, any Season tile (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) can be matched with any other tile in that category.

4.  **Clear the Board:** The level is won once all tiles have been successfully eliminated.

### **How to Win: Strategy & Tips**

* **Prioritize Tall Stacks:** Always focus on clearing tiles that are part of the highest piles. Removing these "key" tiles often reveals a large number of lower-level tiles, preventing you from getting stuck later.

* **Look Ahead:** Before making a match, check if those same tiles are appearing elsewhere. Sometimes it’s better to save a pair for later if they aren't blocking any other tiles.

* **Conserve the Shuffle:** Only use the Shuffle prop as a last resort. Try using "Undo" first to see if a different sequence of moves would have kept the board open.

* **Maintain Balance:** Try to clear tiles from the outer edges and the center at an equal rate. If you only clear from one side, you may find yourself with a "deadlocked" stack on the other side.

* **Speed for Stars:** To achieve a 3-star rating, focus on maintaining a high matching speed to beat the time goals set for each level.
