Selection Rules:

  • You must select at least 2 adjacent cells.

  • Selections can only form:

    • Straight lines (horizontal or vertical).
    • Rectangles (solid shapes, no gaps).

  • You cannot make irregular shapes, such as "L" or diagonal selections.

Scoring System:

Points depend on the number of cells selected (C) and the shape of your selection:

  • More cells = more points: Larger selections give bonus points. For every additional cell beyond 2, your points increase.

  • Rectangle bonus: Rectangle-shaped selections receive additional bonus points compared to straight-line selections.

Points Formula:

points = C × M_length × M_shape

  • C: Number of cells selected.

  • M_length: Multiplier for length.

    M_length = 1 + (0.1 × (C - 2)) for selections larger than 2 cells.

  • M_shape: Multiplier for shape.

    M_shape = 1.2 for rectangles, 1.0 for lines.

  • C = 2
  • M_length = 1.0 (no bonus for 2 cells)
  • M_shape = 1.0 (line shape)

Points = 2 × 1.0 × 1.0 = 2 points

  • C = 6
  • M_length = 1 + (0.1 × (6 - 2)) = 1.4
  • M_shape = 1.2 (rectangle bonus)

Points = 6 × 1.4 × 1.2 = 10.08 points

These examples demonstrate how strategic selections—larger groups and rectangle shapes—significantly boost your score.

Select smart, select fast, and aim for high scores!
