How to play Matchstick Shapes

Goal

Rearrange matches to make exactly the number of shapes asked for.

Rules

Only the number of matches the goal allows may change place. In move puzzles, a match you put back where it started costs nothing. Every match left on the board must be part of a counted shape. The board leaves room around the starting figure, and matches may go there too.

Controls

Tap a match to lift it, then tap an empty spot to place it. In add puzzles, tap an empty spot to add a match. In remove puzzles, lift a match and tap Discard. The target shows above the board and your live count below it.
