Pick a planet on the map to start. On a phone or tablet, hold it sideways.

Touch and mouse

Action How
Move a tile Drag it
Turn a tile Tap it
Turn while you drag Tap the big Turn button in the corner with a second finger
Take a tile out of the frame Drag it out of the frame

On touch, the tile rides a little above your finger, so you can see where it goes. A tile that does not fit just stays where it was. That costs no move.

The buttons at the side are Pause, Undo, Hint and the three power-ups.
