* **Spend Currency:** Use the coins and cash earned from puzzles to unlock fashion items, makeup options, and furniture for your current client.
* **Level Objectives:** Each puzzle level has a specific goal (e.g., "Collect 20 Shirts" or "Clear 15 Pink Tiles") within a limited number of moves.
* **Complete the Project:** Finish all three categories (Fashion, Beauty, and Home) to complete a client's "Project" and move on to the next episode.

### **3. How to Win: Strategy & Tips**
* **Prioritize Level Goals:** Don’t just clear random tiles. Focus strictly on the items required to beat the level to save your moves.
* **Create Powerful Combos:** * **Square Match:** Creates a Small Blast.
* **Line of 4:** Creates a Rocket that clears a row or column.
* **T or L Shape:** Creates a Bomb.
* **Line of 5:** Creates a Rainbow Tile that clears all tiles of a specific color.
* **Combine Boosters:** Swap a Rocket with a Bomb or a Rainbow Tile with a Rocket for a massive board-clearing effect. This is essential for "Hard" and "Super Hard" levels.
* **Save Your Cash:** While it's tempting to buy extra moves, save your cash for when you are just 1 or 2 items away from winning a particularly difficult level.
* **Watch the Move Counter:** Avoid using power-ups too early. If you can clear an objective with regular matches, save your power-ups for the final, trickier obstacles.
