Your first round
- Begin on Easy and locate an arrowhead near an edge.
- Follow its direction square by square to the boundary. Check for tails as well as heads.
- Tap only when that whole lane is empty. After it leaves, inspect arrows that pointed into its old path.
- Repeat until the board is clear. Replay a completed level to improve its stars.
Worked example
Release the blocker first
Suppose arrow A points right, but arrow B occupies the next square in A’s lane. A cannot leave yet. If B points up with an empty lane, remove B, then inspect A’s lane again before tapping it.
Build your strategy
- Scan the perimeter before the crowded center; arrows close to their exit often need less checking.
- After a removal, focus on the newly empty path. This turns a full-board search into a smaller local search.
- Use Hint to learn what a clear lane looks like, then retry without help when aiming for three stars.
Common mistakes
- Following the bends in the body instead of the direction of the head.
- Treating a nearly clear lane as safe: one occupied square is enough to block it.

Clear three Easy levels without blocked taps. Move to Medium when you can explain which arrow each removal releases.
