What is Connect Soviet Coins!

Connect Soviet Coins! is a thoughtful matching puzzle that blends historical flair with classic brain-teasing mechanics. Pair up identical coins by drawing clear paths, and watch the grid gradually empty as you conquer each stage.

How to Play

Click or tap two matching coins that can be linked via a straight or L-shaped path with no more than two 90-degree turns, and with no coins blocking the route. Continue eliminating pairs until all coins are cleared from the board to advance to the next puzzle.

Tips for Playing

  • Scan the entire grid before making your first move to spot easily accessible pairs.
  • Prioritize connecting coins that sit on the edges or corners, as they often have fewer path options later.
  • Keep coins near the center as a last resort, since they tend to be more flexible for blocking many paths.
  • If you feel stuck, try working outward from the most isolated coin to create new openings.
  • Plan two moves ahead, as clearing one pair can open up a path for another that was previously blocked.
