Fewer ads, never mid-game

Tile play is never interrupted. Once you've won a few boards, a short ad may play between games, never during one. Each game, the first hint, the first undo and the first shuffle are free. After that, each costs 100 gold or one video you choose to watch, and a gift from a glowing pair can pay for a hint or an undo. One purchase removes ads for good, and every hint, undo and shuffle is free from then on.

How to play

Tap two matching tiles to clear them. A tile is free when nothing sits on it and its left or right side is open. Any two flowers match, and any two seasons match. Clear the table to win. Easy to learn, and a good challenge.

Your table, your pace

Set up a Custom game and pick Easy, Medium or Hard. Easy deals fewer tiles and fewer kinds, four of each, so every tile has three partners to find. Turn on XL Tiles for tiles up to a third bigger, so easy on the eyes, on a phone or an iPad. Campaign levels climb on their own, starting big and easy.

A table that follows the year

Open it in spring and the tiles sit in a blossom garden. In summer they sit by a lotus pond, in autumn under ginkgo gold, in winter beside plum in the snow. Petals drift, a dragonfly waits over the pond, ginkgo rides the wind, snow falls. The table follows the season where you live, or you can keep the one you like.

Tiles from five countries

China, Japan, Korea, India and Mexico, each in its own hand: sumi ink with red fives, Hangul in five colours, Devanagari with marigold, Talavera with Maya numerals. Any two flowers match, and any two seasons match. How to Play shows it with real tiles.

Gold, earned and never sold

Every pair you clear pays a coin, every board pays more, and so does each medal you win. About one board in three has a pair that glows: Gilded, worth 30 gold; a Lantern, a free hint; a Wind Chime, a free undo; and, rarely, a Jade Dragon, worth 100. Clear both tiles and it is yours. Gold cannot be bought. It pays for a hint, an undo or a shuffle in place of a video.

Medals on a seasons wheel

Clear a board on a season's table and its pane on the wheel lights. There are medals for boards cleared, for clean play and for each country's tiles. Medals win portraits drawn from the game's own art, and the border around yours grows with your record. If you sign in to Game Center, your progress shows there as achievements too.

While you play

Ask for a hint and the table dims while the pair rises out of it. Close the app mid-game and your board waits right where you left it. Every deal is checked before you see it, so a board can always be finished.
