Hints, Reforge & revealing the solution

1 min read

Stuck on a board? You have three ways out, from lightest to heaviest.

Reforge — undo a move

If a move led nowhere, Reforge it. This puts the two original tiles back and removes the result you made, so you can try a different combination. You can keep reforging back through your moves and reset the board to its starting numbers whenever you like.

Reforging is free and unlimited — experimenting is part of solving.

Hints

Need a nudge? A hint reveals a piece of the board's structure — a helpful next step — without handing you the whole answer. Hints are optional. When ads are available, a hint can be unlocked by watching a short rewarded video; with Pro, ads are gone entirely.

We keep this calm on purpose: hints point you in the right direction, they don't solve the board for you.

Reveal the solution

Really want out? Reveal solution plays back one full winning line, step by step, so you can watch which tiles and operations the solver picks. It's there when you're truly stuck or just curious how a board cracks — but a revealed board won't earn stars.

Which should I use?

  • Reforge — you just want to back out of a move. (Use this most.)
  • Hint — you want a direction, not the answer.
  • Reveal — you're done guessing and want to see how it's solved.
