<title>Strategy</title>
<p>Since each <link xref="map">tile layout</link> requires a different
approach, there is no one universal strategy. However, there are some
strategy tips to keep in mind while you play:</p>
<list>
<item><p>The general strategy is to keep removing matching tiles in such a
way that each removed tile will expose further tiles. A good strategy
would be to expose new tiles with every set of tiles you match and
eliminate.</p></item>
<item><p>Choosing easily accessible tiles, such as those from the top levels,
is not beneficial. This strategy leaves essential tiles under cover,
increasing your chances of losing the game.</p></item>
<item><p>Since you are <link xref="scoring">scored</link> by how quickly you
finish the game, time is the most important factor in the game. It is
therefore important to be fast.</p>
<note>
<list>
<item><p>Using the <link xref="hints">hint</link> option adds a
30-second penalty to your time.</p></item>
<item><p>Shuffling tiles adds a 60-second penalty to your
time.</p></item>
