    Nope, that one gives my eyes a headache.
    "Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

              My first time I didn’t understand how to play it. You don’t have to match the whole tile, just a part of it.

                        I think I’ve finally figured out the object of the game. It assumes you will finish perfect. The object is to do so with the fewest turns.

                          OK, with that information, I was able to mentally turn off the headache-inducing part and hit 17, with a 16 first while I learned the rest of the rules.

                            Most or fewest? I'm not sure.
