How to play

  • Clear the board by removing matching pairs of tiles until none are left.
  • A tile is free to take only when nothing sits on top of it and one of its long sides is open.
  • Tap a free tile, then its match — identical tiles pair, and any flower matches any flower, any season any season.
  • Every deal can be solved, so use hint or shuffle if you get stuck.

Strategy & tips

  • Take tiles that unblock the most other tiles, not just the first pair you spot.
  • Free the tiles trapped under the upper layers early — they are the hardest to reach.
  • When several copies of a tile are exposed, think about which pair opens up more of the board.
  • Keep a matching pair in reserve rather than clearing every match the moment you see it.
  • If no moves remain, a shuffle reshuffles the rest — but you only get a few, so plan ahead.
