The tiles are divided into four, you must position them so that only two numbers that are the same are next to each other. The game wil not let you position the tiles so that different numbers are next to each other. You position the pieces by dragging them from their current position either in the right hand box or the main box to their new position. These moves are not permanent and can be readily reversed. You may also move all the pieces in the left hand box at once by using the commands: Move Left/Right/Up/Down

#### Winning the game

The game is completed when you have positioned all the squares in the right positions. When you have completed the game you are shown your ranking in the high scores table, if you get a high enough score. If you have used either Hint or Solve your score will not be included in the high scores table.

## Personalisacion

Under the Settings menu you can change the size of the grid from two by two up to six by six. The default is three by three.

If the tiles are too small, resizing the window will change the size of the tiles.
