THOSE LEGENDARY PHYSICS PUZZLES Classic Cut the Rope mechanics provide clever challenges! Cut ropes and use timing to collect candy and complete each level. MAGICAL FORMS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING Magic turns Om Nom into something new. Fly as a Bird, squeeze through tiny spaces as a Baby, dive deep as a Fish, pass through walls as a Spirit, sniff out candy as a Mouse, or blast objects away as a Dragon with a mighty sneeze.

Step into the castle. Find the pair. Clear the board. Goofer Numbers is a colorful number matching puzzle: choose two equal numbers, or two numbers that add up to 10. A pair needs a clear path through empty spaces along a row, column, diagonal, or the reading order across rows. Empty rows disappear as you clear them, opening new possibilities. PLAY YOUR WAY Take your time in Classic or unwind in Zen. Try Time Attack, Survival, Infinite mode or the daily puzzle for a different challenge. Adventure levels introduce special tiles and reward completed levels with stars. PLAN YOUR NEXT MATCH Quick successive matches build combos. Use a Hint to find a pair, Undo to reverse your last move, Add More to extend the board, or a Bomb when you need help. Boosters have limited uses.
