A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Watch out for this

A swap making no match is reverted. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
