Step by step

- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
