ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About TetraVex ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
TetraVex is a challenging brain teaser. The object of the game is to fill the
empty grid on the left side of the board with the tiles on the right side of
the board so that the patterns on the adjacent edges of each tile match, much
like aligning domino tiles.
To learn how TetraVex is played start with smaller puzzles or choose Smart
pointer from the options menu. Find a digit that occurs only once on a given
puzzle. You know that this digit must lie along the outer edge of the tray,
since there are no other tiles that can match it.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Playing the game ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The playing area of TetraVex consists of a tray and anywhere from 4 to 36
tiles. The object of the game is to place all the tiles in the tray as quickly
as possible so that the characters on the adjacent edges of each tile match.
You can place any tile anywhere in the tray, but you cannot place a tile in the
tray if its edges do not match all of its neighbors.
To start a new game choose New from the Game menu or press Ctrl+N. To move a
tile just drag the tile to its new location using the right mouse button. If
the tile cannot be placed in the position you intended, it will not be left in
that space.
