Example solution
 | Cover the tiles already shown on the card with the corresponding real tiles in the correct orientation. | 
|
 |  | Look at the objective. The symbol shown is that for "One Line", i.e. a continuous line of one colour must pass through all of the tiles, with all touching links matching in colour. Looking at the pre-placed tiles, you can see an isolated green link at the top and an isolated red link at the bottom left. Neither of them will ever be joined up to any other links. The line that runs through all of the tiles must therefore be yellow.
|
 | Start by looking at the space that is already surrounded by four tiles. There is only one tile that fits this space with all colours matching. | 
|
 |  | Once that space has been filled, the space next to it can again only be filled by one tile as shown.
|
 | Remember that the yellow line must pass through all of the tiles. You can already see both ends of that line - at the top left and at the bottom. The next two tiles must therefore be the those with yellow straights on them. | 
|
 |  | You are now left with two yellow bends and two yellow corners. Place the bends in their corresponding spaces so that all touching colours match.
|
 | When considering the order in which to place the two remaining tiles, remember that the connection between them must match too. | 
|
The above example shows a relatively simple puzzle. As the puzzles get harder, you may need to think several steps ahead to find the right tile for a space.
