Summer Onet Connect

Onet is the shorthand for a flat connecting board, and Summer Onet Connect gives the 2Million Games version of one a beach setting: sun, sand and a clear horizon behind the pieces you are pairing off. How that works is written out in the page on onet boards.

The listing commits to matching pairs and to chasing a high score, and that is where its claims stop. Nothing is said about a countdown, a level count, a hint or a shuffle, so this page states none of them either. Boards of this kind generally allow a pair to be taken when a short path can be traced between two identical pieces, and the score usually reflects how quickly the field empties, but whether this one follows the pattern is something the opening board will tell you. Squid Connect 2 is matched by path rather than by stack, the same way.

The field is drawn compactly, and it takes taps as well as clicks. Two turns and nothing in the way is also the rule in the Mojicon Emoji Connect board.

1. Let the beach field load and look across the pieces on it.
2. Find two identical summer pieces and select them one after the other.
3. Clear pairs steadily, since the score is what the board is played for.
4. Empty the field to finish, then see what the next one offers.

• Sweep the outer ring — pieces on the edge of the Summer Onet Connect field are the ones with room around them.
• Play for the score — the listing names a high-score chase as the point, so a brisk clear counts for more than a careful one.
• Take the listing at its word — nothing is stated about hints, shuffles or a clock, so let the first board show you rather than assuming.
• Separate the beach set — parasols, shells and fruit repeat in bright shades that blur together at small window sizes.
