How to play
You complete Lollipops when the completed grid satisfies the separated circle stick dominoes constraint set, every fixed clue, and the profile's whole-board completion test. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.
- Lollipops opens from a versioned seeded position built for Each lollipop is one circle plus one oriented stick; lollipops do not touch and repeated symbols require an intervening symbol. The independent runtime records this exact separated circle stick dominoes rules identity. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Lollipops action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: Each lollipop is one circle plus one oriented stick; lollipops do not touch and repeated symbols require an intervening symbol. Partial assignments remain legal only while at least one completion still satisfies those constraints. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Lollipops plan is to preserve several legal continuations around Each lollipop is one circle plus one oriented stick; lollipops do not touch and repeated symbols require an intervening symbol. The independent runtime records this exact separated circle stick dominoes rules identity. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Lollipops error is to ignore the boundary rule that Each lollipop is one circle plus one oriented stick; lollipops do not touch and repeated symbols require an intervening symbol. Partial assignments remain legal only while at least one completion still satisfies those constraints. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Lollipops, recount the remaining obligations needed until the completed grid satisfies the separated circle stick dominoes constraint set, every fixed clue, and the profile's whole-board completion test. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
