See the idea in action
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
Three corners are invalid. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
