## Instructions

Tap one tile to match it with the same tile and clear the board as fast as you can. Get rid of all of the tiles as fast as you can. With so many potential board layouts, you’ll never play the same game twice!

When the game loads in, you will be presented with a mix of covered tiles and exposed tiles. Clear out the exposed tiles to uncover the hidden tiles. Make sure to be quick when matching the tiles! The longer that you take to complete the round, the fewer bonus points you will earn. See how high of a score you can get during each round.

### Instructions

Tap one tile to match it with the same tile and clear the board as fast as you can. Get rid of all of the tiles as fast as you can. With so many potential board layouts, you’ll never play the same game twice!

When the game loads in, you will be presented with a mix of covered tiles and exposed tiles. Clear out the exposed tiles to uncover the hidden tiles. Make sure to be quick when matching the tiles! The longer that you take to complete the round, the fewer bonus points you will earn. See how high of a score you can get during each round.
