Your first set.

Tap a rune → it slides the way its arrow points. If another rune is in the way, it bumps back and costs a heart.
Clear five boards, from small to large. Out of hearts, a board starts again. Finish with 2 or fewer mistakes for three stars, 6 or fewer for two.

THE KEEPER'S METHOD

Follow each arrow to the edge.

Your set has not started. Reading this help will not start the clock.

  1. Read. Every rune shows an arrow: up, down, left or right.
  2. Tap. Click, tap or press Enter on a rune. If nothing stands between it and the edge in that direction, it slides off the board.
  3. Watch for blockers. If any rune is in the way, the tapped rune bumps back, the blocker shakes and you lose a heart. Clearing runes opens new paths.

Each board has three hearts and one hint. A hint makes one rune that can slide right now glow. If you lose every heart, that board starts again with full hearts, and your mistakes still count. Long runes cover two or three cells and only slide along their length.

A set is five boards that grow from 4×4 to 7×7. Stars count your mistakes across the whole set: 2 or fewer for three stars, 6 or fewer for two, and finishing always earns one. Time is recorded, but there is no clock to beat.

Choose Classic or a challenge before starting. Its rule stays fixed for that set.
