Usage

Click on matching tiles to remove them. You can only remove tiles that are "Free". This means there is no tile above them and they do not have tiles on both the left and right sides of them. They are free if there is just one tile on the left or on the right.

Tiles "match" if they are identical or if they are in one of the two unique groups of 4 tiles. For the default set used here those unique groups have black squares around their lettering and the lettering is either yellow or black. You can learn more about these tiles from their source site. https://github.com/jimevins/smooth-tileset
