## What is Dino Match Lite?

In this five-by-five grid game, you can select two tiles to trade places. The goal is to create rows or columns of like tiles to create a matching set. 

You score points for each row or column set you make. You have a limited number of turns to make as many sets as possible. 

You can create more than one set in a single turn if you are careful. You can deselect the first tile by clicking on it again. The swap will be made once the second tile is selected.

The free lite version has non retina graphics and Ads.  If you like the game, why not purchase the full version with retina graphics and no Ads.
