How to Play
- Horizontal wooden character formations fall from the top. Each formation is 1, 2, or 3 characters long.
- Grab any falling formation and drag it to the front or end of another compatible formation.
- Compatible formations anneal only when their character ranges are adjacent in the same four-character idiom.
- When the merged strip reaches the full four-character idiom, it pops away and scores +4 points.
- You start with 10 points. If a real N-character formation reaches the bottom, you lose N points; Level 4+ distractors cost no points.
How scoring works
Your points come from your remaining points, matched idioms, and level reached. More matches and higher levels rank higher.
Harder difficulties give more points: Easy is the base score, Medium adds a modest boost, Hard adds a larger boost, and Diabolical gives the largest boost.
If a round ends without a win, it still gives a small share of the round score. Every finished round adds to your carried total.
