- 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.
