The tiles are divided into four, you must position them so that only two numbers that are the same are next to each other.

You position the pieces by dragging them from their current position either in the right hand box or the main box to their new position. These moves are not permanent and can be readily reversed. You may also move the pieces by using the commands: Move->Left/Right/Up/Down
