I'd also have to experiment with the tile selection. The hint showed
several matches where the patterns weren't the same.  I beat the Ubuntu
version fairly regularly. I'm not sure if all layouts are supposed to have
a solution. There are times when you have three of the same tiles exposed,
which two to remove?

I tried that game about 10 or 12 years back. Found it quite childish.
Why I tried it? Cause some new girl in the warehouse said she spent hours each day at home playing it, and I wanted to get an idea what she was and where I could use her in that job.
Those peaple play backgammon too. Part of it _must_ be chance cause they're Penis X grade people after all.
But play chess, and everything is in your control. You lose, you really lose. You win, you really win :) I still use my 45 year old Radio Shack chessboard. Chess enthusiast friends are all gone. When in the mood, I try yet one more time to beat its level 7. I've never been able to. Level 6 is the highest I ever could beat it, like 10% of the time.
Level 7 is so impossible to beat that I'm thinking its scale of 1 to 9 is not even logarithmic. I wish I knew how they determined it in the codes. If it was logarithmic, then on the average about one time in 100 tries I would be able to beat it in level 7. But I have tried a few thousand times since I was in my 20s, in that level, without one win.
My own play level is pretty good and I still play a couple times a week, cause who knows :)
