Animals Connect 3
The third Connect board of drawn animal faces: a flat grid, no countdown, and bonus points for fast pairs.
Every tile in Animals Connect 3 carries a drawn animal face, and the grid lies flat rather than stacked, so the whole puzzle is visible from the first move.
Pairs disappear when you link two identical animals, and this third board in the series leaves the countdown out altogether. Nothing pushes you off a half-finished plan, which makes it a sensible place to learn the linking rule before you meet the timed boards. Because nothing is buried, a stuck grid is genuinely stuck: the animals you cannot take are the ones with no clear route, not the ones under another tile. The same scanning across an open grid is what Butterfly Kyodai HD asks for.
Speed is still rewarded. Quick matches pay bonus points, so once the rule is second nature there is a reason to keep the pace up rather than study the grid at leisure. Clearing every animal pair is what ends the round. For the rest of the group, see the Connect section.
The board also answers to touch, and the full screen control gives the animal art room to breathe, which matters when a duck at the top edge has to be told apart from a similar bird three rows down. For a second flat pair-up, there is the Toys Connect board.

How to Play
- Look over the flat grid and pick out two tiles showing the same animal.
- Click the first, then its twin, and both leave the board.
- Chain animal pairs quickly to collect the speed bonus.
- Keep going until every animal on the grid has been paired off.
Tips & Tricks
- Take the outer ring first — animals on the rim of Animals Connect 3 have the most open routes, and clearing them opens paths inward.
- Match in bursts — the bonus rewards quick pairs, so when you spot three easy animals, take all three before scanning again.
- Scan before you click — with no countdown running, a few seconds mapping the duplicated animals costs nothing at all.
- Check the colour — several creatures repeat across the grid in similar shades, so confirm the two faces truly match.
- Go full screen — the animal faces are small at window size and the far corners become readable at full size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Animals Connect 3 have a time limit?
No. The board runs without a countdown, so a half-solved grid can sit on screen while you think.
How does scoring work in Animals Connect 3?
Clearing pairs is the goal, and fast matches add bonus points on top, so speed is worth more than caution once the rule is familiar.
Can Animals Connect 3 be played on a phone or tablet?
Yes, the tiles respond to taps, though the small animal art is easier to read on a larger display.
Does Animals Connect 3 run in full screen?
It does. The control stretches the grid across the whole display, which helps when the last two animals sit in opposite corners.
How does Animals Connect 3 relate to the earlier Connect games?
It is the third board in the series and keeps the same linking rule, with animal artwork and an untimed grid.
