Also means, Polygon is optimized to play with an iPhone even if you still can play it on an iPAD.

You can drag the puzzle pieces with one or two finger when using two fingers you can also rotate the piece and you don't have to touch screen where the piece is even if you could. You can use any part of screen to drag or rote the piece.
