Well, I need to request some help on a specific game.

The game is Wall Pairs, and the game number is #548543140. I've tried and tried and tried but just can't seem to win this game. Can anyone help?

You have come to the right place. :-)

This particular game is winnable, as I just managed to do it (after several tries). The trick is to concentrate on the Red tiles, since they seem to be the most dispersed. I started by taking out the first three pairs of Red and then bringing the individual Red tiles together.

There is not (yet) an established method for publishing the moves for this game, so it is a little difficult to describe exactly how I did it, but I have the game saved. If you do not succeed knowing that it is winnable and how to start, reply here and I will either document the moves or post my gave saved with only one pair remaining.

Just to be clear, the tiles in Wall Pairs are always available in even numbers, but there is no guarantee that every game is winnable. (This game number definitely is, however.)
