Puzznic

Each stage is a single-screen puzzle viewed from the side. Tiles fall when the space beneath them is cleared, and matching tiles disappear when identical pieces are brought into contact. The objective is to clear the entire arrangement. Later screens require the player to predict cascades, move pieces through narrow spaces, and choose a safe order for removing groups; a careless match can make the remaining puzzle impossible.

Study the complete layout before making the first match. Identify tiles that can only be reached after a specific support block is removed, then preserve those supports until the required route is ready. Prefer matches that create useful drops or open a passage. If a move leaves a different-colored tile isolated against a wall or ceiling, restart early instead of spending time on an unsalvageable layout.

Look for the order in which tiles must fall before matching anything.

Use small openings to reposition tiles instead of making the first available match.

Restart a puzzle when a tile becomes permanently isolated.
