No. 2 Pencil

A tile-matching puzzle drawn in plain No. 2 pencil. Every tile is a classroom doodle, like an apple, a globe, a school bus or a trophy, and it colours in when you tap it. Connect two matching tiles with a path of no more than two turns and clear the whole desk before the timer runs out.

How to play

  1. Tap a tile to select it and it colours in.
  2. Tap a matching tile. If a path with no more than two turns joins them, both tiles clear.
  3. Paths can run around the outside edge of the board, but not through other tiles or blocked squares.
  4. Clear every tile before the timer empties to finish the level. Each match adds a second back.

Controls

  • Tap or click a tile to select it, and tap it again to deselect.
  • Hint (or the H key) highlights a pair you can match. You get 3 per level.
  • Shuffle (or the S key) mixes the board. You get 2 per level.
  • The Sound button mutes all sound effects.

Tips

  • Linking tiles that are far apart earns more stars.
  • Matching quickly builds a combo multiplier up to x5.
  • From level 4, tiles slide after each match, so think one move ahead.
  • Save your hints for the bigger boards.
