## What is Nintenren?

Link numbers, build longer chains, and aim for a higher score.

Nintenren - Number Link is a casual number puzzle with a simple idea and room for thoughtful play. Connect neighbouring tiles, clear valid chains, and keep going for as long as you can.

HOW TO LINK
Each number you add must be equal to the number beside it in the chain, or differ by 1. For example: 1-1, 2-3, or 3-2.

WHEN A CHAIN CAN BE CLEARED
A chain must contain at least three distinct values or at least three tiles with the same value. Examples: 1-2-3, 2-2-2, and 5-4-3-3.

SCORING
Points come from the number of tiles cleared, not the values printed on them:
- 3 tiles: 6 points
- 4 tiles: 10 points
- 5 tiles: 15 points
Longer chains earn more points.

PLAN YOUR NEXT LINK
A longer chain can be tempting, but chasing length without a plan can leave you with fewer options. Balance your next clear with the moves it leaves behind.
