Patterns Link

Link together all of these classic patterns in this unique match 3 puzzle game! Try to connect all patterns as fast as possible until all the tiles are gone!

Breaking news from the Fashion Police—in Patterns Link, mixing and matching patterns is encouraged! Get ready to unleash your inner designer and try to match as many patterns as possible. Collect the matching pairs of colorful tiles before the short time limit is up.

How to play Patterns Link?

To finish each level you’ll have to find and connect the tiles with the same pattern on them. To do that, click on two matching tiles with your mouse. This will only work, however, if the tiles have a clear path between them and if the path does not have more than two 90-degree turns. This means that you can also pair up tiles that are placed directly next to each other! 

Keep an eye on the timer at the top of the screen—if time runs out, you lose the level. But don’t worry, you’ll earn extra time with every successful match.

Using Hints 

Next to the timer you can see your score and a set of icons. Clicking the one with the magnifying glass will show you a helpful hint on what to do next! But be careful: hints are limited, and you only get one of them back after completing each level. Use them wisely!

Game Progression

The levels will get harder as you play. For one thing, the time limit will become a little shorter with each level. In addition to that, more patterns are introduced as you progress through the game. They’ll become harder to tell apart. To make recognising the matching patterns easier, try playing Patterns Link in fullscreen mode by tapping the Full Screen icon in the lower left corner.
