Setup and opening position
Sixteen cells contain three colors in a deterministic, solver-checked pattern. No cell is initially empty, and the opening always has at least one removable connected group.
Same Game
Remove every colored block from the grid; a position with blocks remaining but no group of size two is stuck rather than complete.

How to play
Remove every colored block from the grid; a position with blocks remaining but no group of size two is stuck rather than complete.
- Sixteen cells contain three colors in a deterministic, solver-checked pattern. No cell is initially empty, and the opening always has at least one removable connected group.
- Select a block belonging to an orthogonally connected same-color group of two or more. The whole group disappears, blocks fall within each column, and empty columns shift left.
- Remove every colored block from the grid; a position with blocks remaining but no group of size two is stuck rather than complete.
Strategy tips
- Look beyond the largest immediate group and predict both vertical gravity and leftward column movement, since a smaller removal can merge two separated color clusters.
- Diagonal contact does not join a group, and removing an attractive cluster without checking the collapse can isolate a singleton that can never be cleared.
- Before the final few removals, make sure every surviving color will join a partner after gravity; the constructive hint follows a complete clearing sequence when one is needed.

Rules, scoring, and strategy
Same Game is a complete browser implementation with its own versioned rules profile. Clear a four-by-four field of colored blocks by removing orthogonally connected groups of at least two, then letting gravity and column collapse reshape the board.
Legal moves and game flow
Select a block belonging to an orthogonally connected same-color group of two or more. The whole group disappears, blocks fall within each column, and empty columns shift left.
Winning and terminal positions
Remove every colored block from the grid; a position with blocks remaining but no group of size two is stuck rather than complete. Before the final few removals, make sure every surviving color will join a partner after gravity; the constructive hint follows a complete clearing sequence when one is needed.
Practical strategy
Look beyond the largest immediate group and predict both vertical gravity and leftward column movement, since a smaller removal can merge two separated color clusters. Diagonal contact does not join a group, and removing an attractive cluster without checking the collapse can isolate a singleton that can never be cleared.
