How to play

• Remove pairs of matching tiles until there are none left
• Click on two matching tiles to remove them
• You can only remove tiles which have no tile lying on top of them, and which do not have tiles touching either the left or right edge (i.e. they must be open on either the left or right)
• It is possible to have no moves available, in which case you should "Retry"
• I only generate winnable starting arrangements, but some of them are hard!

What tiles match

There are a total of 144 tiles, and each tile potential matches three other tiles. In other words, one aspect of the game is knowing which of the other matching tiles to choose. If you choose wrong, the game may become unwinnable. For the most part, tiles only match if they are identical to each other. There are some exceptions:

• Tiles with one black character match one another, and represent the seasons: spring 春, summer 夏, fall 秋, and winter 冬
• Cyan-colored single characters match one another, and represent plants: lotus 蘭, bamboo 竹, chrysanthemum 菊, and plum 梅
