Leave room to sort

An empty tray gives you somewhere to move a front group while you uncover the coins behind it. Before using that space, look at what your move will reveal.

Look before you move

A move carries the matching group at the front of a tray. Choose an empty tray or one with the same shown value and enough room. Coins that do not fit stay behind. You cannot move onto a different shown value.

Before the move: four red value-3 coins cover two blue value-2 coins in the middle row; the fourth bottom tray is empty. — Before. The red front group covers two blue coins. The empty tray gives it somewhere to go. View full size

After the move: the four red coins sit in the previously empty bottom tray, leaving two blue coins visible in the source tray. — After. Moving the red group uncovers the blue coins. The other trays and rewards stay unchanged. View full size

In this sequence, the red front group moves into an empty tray and reveals the blue shown coins behind it. This is a covered colour, not a hidden question-mark group.

Check what you will uncover

Clearing all shown coins can uncover a hidden group. Think about where that group could go before you use your last empty tray. Hidden groups appear on a new treasure pile, not from later Deals.

Deal when you need fresh coins

A Deal is free and adds shown coins to eligible trays below nine coins. It can cover another shown colour. It does not guarantee a match or a new move.

Keep Merge separate

When ten matching coins are ready, tap Merge to turn them into one coin of the next value. Merging earns XP; dealing does not.
