Connect both walls
A color clears when it connects the left and right walls. The connection can bend with the pile. Keep the whole shape inside the board before releasing it, then wait for the grains to settle before choosing your next position.
Read the current score
The center counter shows points in the current run. Restart empties the board and resets that counter; the crown can still show the previous high score.
Keep playing or start over
The circular arrow at the top right opens a restart confirmation. Choose Continue to keep your pile, or Restart to clear the current board and points.
