    [ Game Screen ]

    Mahjongg tiles are filled with the 14 columns x 10 rows.

    You can remove two tiles that have the same picture.
    When you removed all tiles, the game becomes cleared.
    Now, there is the rule to remove, that is "the two tiles must be connected by at most 3 lines."
    (If you couldn't understand the rule, displaying Hint would help you.)

    In the bottom-left of the screen, the time elapsing from starting the game is shown.
    When cleared the game, if the time was earlier than the best 10 time records, you could enter your name.

    * The tiles are filled at random, so there might be also the case you couldn't solve the game.
