Paw Friends Onet Tips and Tricks to Win
- When a game starts, quickly focus on the most obvious matches. Spreading your focus on too many tiles at a time may be confusing, so focusing on one at a time helps.
- Prioritize removing the tiles that are on the edges first. Starting in the middle, where it is all too easy to end up with scattered tiles blocking your matches, may eventually lead to bricking your game.
- Strategizing is always important. You should plan your moves ahead by one or two steps at least, and consider properly which pairs you will match if you are presented with multiple pairs of the same type of tiles.
- Use the Hint feature. This is a last resort for most players, but if you are determined to get a win, there is no shame in getting a hint from the computer.
